Mainspring is a voice for change that raises awareness and builds partnerships to address root causes of economic hardship. We are an organization focused on providing equitable comprehensive services to meet the basic needs of residents within and beyond Portland.

We will be taking in seeds and veggie starts for the community again in 2024! This spring, keep us in mind.ring, keep us in mind.

• We are one of the very few food banks that accepts produce donations from your personal urban garden, in addition many of us in the community purchase a substantial amount of seeds for their own gardens each year. Feel free to share any extra vegetable starts or seeds you may have! This is a great opportunity to provide those around us with the tools they need to feed their families fresh veggies and help them feel proud of what they are doing to support urban sustainability.
