Have an idea for an event?

Share it here. We would love for you to lead on this. Suggestions go to staff for review; volunteers cannot add official events directly to the calendar.

Future Saturday Community Program

Mainspring does not have a launch date yet. We are seeing who is interested in helping Mainspring continue services past regular operation hours on Saturdays.

This volunteer-led Saturday program would help distribute Overnight Food Bags while Mainspring is normally closed and would create a more accessible donation time for community members whose schedules do not align with our Monday–Thursday hours. We would like to build a team of at least eight people so four volunteers can serve at a time while still allowing rest, vacations, summer flexibility, and holiday coverage.

Current Public Volunteer Schedule

Only first names and selected availability are shown. This helps volunteers see lighter days and choose to jump in where needed.
