According to a press release, nearly 200 people are expected to gather for a community event celebrating WayForward Resources, the new name for Middleton Outreach Ministry, a 40-year-old Dane County nonprofit that operates a food pantry and housing stability programs. 

WayForward Resources serves more than 5,000 people a year. Its food pantry distributes the equivalent of more than 100,000 meals per month to people facing food insecurity.
