100% Community Funded

Together, We Fight Hunger. Fuel Hope.

At Mainspring, we do more than distribute food and clothing—we build community, restore dignity, and create belonging. Every day, we welcome individuals, seniors, and families with compassion, ensuring everyone has access to the essentials they need without judgment. As a 100% community-funded nonprofit, every meal, every article of clothing, every hygiene item, and every act of kindness is made possible by neighbors helping neighbors. There is no parent organization and no government funding—just a community coming together to care for one another. Together, we're not just fighting hunger. We're fueling hope, strengthening our community, and helping keep Portland compassionate—one neighbor at a time.
