Donate Funds & Food

Donate Funds

Footprints is now a program of Mainspring. Donations made to support Footprints are processed by Mainspring, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Your gift continues to provide nutritious food and essential resources to our neighbors while helping strengthen a coordinated network of care that addresses the challenges often connected to food insecurity, including housing instability, financial hardship, and more.

To donate by mail, please send your check to:

Mainspring
22 Shapleigh Road
Kittery, ME 03904

EIN: 01-0525140

A tax-deductible receipt will be provided for all donations.

If donating online, please consider adding 3% to your donation to help cover credit card processing fees.

For more than 30 years, Footprints has relied on the generosity of neighbors, businesses, schools, churches, civic organizations, state agencies, and foundations to help reduce the impact of hunger in our community.

As part of an exciting new chapter, Footprints has merged with Mainspring to create a stronger, more coordinated system of support for individuals and families throughout the Seacoast region. While our organizational structure is evolving, our commitment to ensuring everyone has access to nutritious food remains unchanged.

Your support helps sustain the Footprints Market and related food-access programs while strengthening Mainspring's mission to provide coordinated, community-centered care.

Thank you so much for helping us help others.
