Every year, KANDU Industries appeals to the community for financial support to tighten the gap between government funding and the expenses required to operate and expand the organization’s many vital programs.

Executive Director Kathy Hanson says they hope to raise $40,000 with the 2023 annual giving campaign.

Hanson says they are the only state-certified adult day services program in Rock County.

Reports estimate that by 2040, Rock County’s population of individuals age 85+ is expected to increase by 120% and the number of Rock County residents with dementia is expected to increase by 110%.

All proceeds will directly benefit KANDU’s mission to create, promote, and provide diverse opportunities offering people with disabilities and disadvantages the ability to pursue greater independence and live more meaningful lives.
