A sweet ending to a hard day’s work! 🍦
Earlier this month, our Livin’ and Learnin’ clients had a blast volunteering at Beloit Meals On Wheels, Inc.. After a day of giving back, they topped it off with some well-deserved treats at Flying Pig!
We love teaching our clients the ...value of supporting local organizations and helping them learn how these businesses operate. And of course, we never pass up the chance to celebrate a job well done with something sweet!
Do you know someone investing in commercial property? KANDU's former production facility is for sale. For more information contact Kathy Hansen at (262) 880-3977.
A berry fun way to spend the day! 🍓 Recently a handful of our Prevocational and ISP clients enjoyed a refreshing outing to Skelly's Farm Market for strawberry picking. Activities like this give clients the chance to enjoy the fresh air and experience something new, while also promoting ...mindfulness and a stronger connection to nature. It was a sweet and enriching day all around!
☀️ Today officially marks the first day of summer and at KANDU Industries, we’re ready to make it unforgettable!
Our clients love getting outside this time of year, and we’ve already packed the calendar with fun, engaging activities designed to bring joy, connection, and plenty of ...sunshine into their days.
Whether it’s outdoor games, community events, or simply enjoying fresh air with friends, these experiences aren’t just fun — they boost well-being and create memories that last all year long!
🥞 Waffle Thursday!
Once a month, our ISP clients look forward to a special waffle breakfast complete with Mickey and Hello Kitty waffles on a stick! A big thank-you to Victoria for providing the resources to make this happen.
We love fun monthly traditions like this that give us ...intentional time with our clients and create meaningful moments together.
Our Livin’ and Learnin’ clients enjoyed a peaceful and inspiring day at Anderson Japanese Gardens. Surrounded by beautiful nature, they explored the paths, waterfalls, and blooming landscapes. Outings like this provide a wonderful opportunity to promote mobility and engage the senses with all ...the sights, sounds, and smells. It was a truly refreshing experience! 🌸
It's National Picnic Day and at KANDU Industries, we know just how meaningful a good break can be. ☀
For our clients and staff, taking a break isn’t just about rest—it’s about togetherness, joy, and feeling part of something special. That’s why we make downtime count with ...memorable moments like outdoor picnics at our pavilion!
Whether it’s sharing a favorite snack, soaking up the sunshine, or simply enjoying each other’s company, these picnics create space for laughter, relaxation, and belonging. 💚
What an exciting day at Camp Randall! Our Livin’ and Learnin’ and Minds in Motion clients had a blast touring the well-known stadium. Seeing where the athletes train sparked so much joy, wonder, and conversation. Outings like this inspire our clients to learn more, engage with the world around ...them, and try something new. Go Badgers! ❤️
