You can still make a 100% impact by purchasing a gift card for Mainspring.
This is a shift in how we come together as a community. Instead of simply giving, you are actively participating in how food is placed on someone’s table. A gift card allows us to respond in real time, purchase exactly what is needed most, and ensure that every dollar is used with intention, dignity, and care.
Select the amount you would like. Your gift card becomes direct access to food for families, seniors, and individuals facing food insecurity in our community.
When completing your purchase, please include your name and, if you are willing, leave us a message. Your words matter. They remind us, and those we serve, that this support is coming from real people who care.
Your contribution helps provide essential staples like milk, eggs, fresh produce, and pantry items ensuring that individuals, families, and seniors have access to the nourishment they need.
100% of your donation turns into food.
Just $25 can provide essential grocery items for up to 53 individuals.
The numbers tell the story of impact.
Our onsite self-select pantry operates every Thursday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, serving:
75 households during that 3-hour window
3,600 households served annually during that 3-hour window on Thursdays alone
When we include our offsite pantry locations:
7,200 households served annually across Tuesday and Thursday distributions
That equals just 6 hours per week of self-select, choice-based food access.
But what about the other 18 hours each week?
Outside of those 6 hours, we continue serving our community through our Overnight Food Bag Program that provides access to food for an additional 18 hours per week.
This program is essential, but it operates entirely on donated food, not purchased staples.
That means:
Limited consistency in what families receive
Reduced access to essential items
Loss of dignity and choice that the self-select model provides
The reality is simple.
When our shelves run out early, choice disappears.
And when choice disappears, families are left with whatever is available.
Your donation changes that.
It helps us:
Keep our shelves stocked longer
Expand access to essential groceries
Preserve dignity through choice
Strengthen both our self-select and overnight food programs
Every number represents a family, a senior, or a child who now has access to food.
