Welcome to Mainspring!

Mainspring addresses economic hardship, including food insecurity for families and seniors.

Office hours and donation times are 9:00am - 3:00pm, Monday - Thursday.

We are a voice for change, raising awareness and building partnerships to address the root causes of economic hardship, including food and clothing insecurity. Mainspring is a non-profit organization focused on providing equitable comprehensive services to meet the basic needs of residents within and beyond Portland.

We will continue accepting seeds and veggie starters in 2025. Gardeners, please keep us in mind!

Many of us purchase a substantial amount of seeds for our own gardens each year. Feel free to share any extra vegetable starts or seeds you may have!
We are one of the very few food banks that accepts produce donations from your personal urban garden.
This is a great opportunity to provide our community with the resources needed to feed families fresh veggies and foster a sense of pride in contributing to urban sustainability.
