How it Works
If you (individual or family) are experiencing food insecurity, please connect with us for help. We exist to provide assistance to those who are hungry. We welcome all families and individuals experiencing food insecurity within the Middleton School District (MSD) to register with us (check MSD boundary lines).
Our intake process is simple and fast. To become a client and receive food from the Middleton Food Pantry, you must fill out an application in person at our location, once annually, regardless if you are a new or returning client. We require a current, government issued photo ID and proof of residence within the Middleton School District in the form of a current utility bill.
No proof of income is needed! Our focus is access, dignity, and community stability.
NOTE: If you do NOT reside within the MSD boundaries, please see www.findhelpidaho.org for help in area you reside.
