During winter weather events, Mainspring, Footprints, and Fair Tide Thrift store will follow the Kittery School District closures. We will update our website and social media to reflect these closures, and the Kittery School District announces closures on news channels WCSH, WMTW, and WGME.

Breakfast Café & Community Supper
We believe that sharing a meal is about more than the food—it’s about connection, comfort, and community. These meals are open to everyone, creating a welcoming space where we all can slow down, share stories, and feel a true sense of belonging.
Weekly Community Supper Menu
February 19th: Pulled pork, coleslaw, and baked beans! Please note, we’ll be offering take-away only for the month of February. Pick up is from 4-5pm, and everyone is welcome.
Upcoming Event: Footprints’ Third Annual Empty Bowl Event
Empty Bowl events are held by food pantries nationwide to raise awareness and critical funds to address food insecurity in our communities. At Footprints’ Third Annual Empty Bowl Event, attendees will enjoy unlimited soup and bread donated by local restaurants, live music by local band Mozambique, the chance to win exclusive raffle items and packages, and the choice of a handcrafted bowl to take home, generously donated by local potters. All funds raised at the event will go directly toward stocking our market with fresh, nutritious food, providing groceries to community members living with food insecurity and on low incomes.
