Nov 5, 2025 | News

Milton, Wis. (November 4, 2025) – KANDU Industries Inc., a Rock County, Wis.-based non-profit organization that provides programs and services to people with disabilities and disadvantages is pleased to announce a special holiday partnership with Hoffman House Catering, who will donate a portion of proceeds from their annual Thanksgiving Curbside Pick-Up Dinner to support KANDU’s mission. This initiative will directly benefit local adults with disabilities through meaningful work opportunities, supportive programming, and community inclusion.

In addition to their generous contribution, Hoffman House Catering will host a lunch for KANDU clients, offering a warm, celebratory experience during the holiday season.

“We are incredibly grateful for Hoffman House Catering’s commitment to our mission and the individuals we serve,” said KANDU Executive Director Kathy Hansen. “Partnerships like this not only help fund our programs, but they also demonstrate to our clients that our community values them and believes in their potential.”

Hoffman House Catering recently relocated its holiday curbside dinner operations to Janesville, and the collaboration marks an exciting opportunity for two locally rooted organizations to make a positive impact together. The Thanksgiving dinner menu includes homestyle meal packages serving 6 or 12 people, with options such as oven-roasted turkey, honey-glazed ham, and a variety of traditional sides.

Proceeds from meal orders will help support KANDU’s mission of empowering adults with disabilities through job training, community engagement, inclusive employment, and a variety of programs for seniors and individuals with memory impairments.
