“Together, we can change lives and build a society where everyone has easy access to the most basic necessities.”

By Our Community, For Our Community
Mainspring transforms the way we address complex societal challenges by uniting our community in care for one another. Your involvement makes this collective care possible—helping build a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the resources needed to thrive.
Volunteer
Volunteers are a vital part of our work. Whether you’re sorting donations at Fair Tide Thrift Store or helping stock shelves at Footprints, your time and support help build a stronger, more connected community. Mainspring volunteers can volunteer with either Fair Tide or Footprints—or both!
Financial Support
Fair Tide and Footprints launched a joint capital campaign to fund the construction, renovation, and furnishing of Mainspring. Thanks to the community’s support, we’ve opened our doors and reached our $6.3 million goal. Fair Tide and Footprints are also covering Mainspring’s operating expenses so that partner agencies can share their expertise and services with people accessing Mainspring. It’s a powerful model built on collaboration and the belief that our impact is stronger together. Your gift today helps us sustain the day-to-day operations of Mainspring and directly supports our programs. We accept multi-year pledges, cash/checks, stocks, in-kind support, endowed gifts, bequests, and more. Please reach out if you would like to discuss specific giving vehicles or recognition opportunities.
