MIDDLETON, Idaho — Middleton's only food pantry serves up to 135 families monthly, feeding nearly 750 people, but volunteers say the aging building is struggling to keep up with the community's growing needs.

"Our mission is to provide food security for folks in our community," said volunteer David Luiz.
