Mainspring Portland

Thread & Theory is an online shop operated by Mainspring Community Food & Clothing Pantry, a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon. The shop sells a small, carefully selected portion (approximately 2–3%) of donated clothing and goods originally received through our free community clothing program, Re-Thread.

All proceeds from Thread & Theory are used to purchase food for Mainspring’s pantry, directly supporting individuals, families, and seniors experiencing food insecurity. While 100% of items in our Re-Thread clothing program remain free to the community, Thread & Theory is a sustainability initiative designed to extend the impact of donated goods and increase access to essential food resources.

Products sold may include gently used clothing, accessories, and select household items.

Thread & Theory operates as a social enterprise, using retail to create measurable community impact by converting donated goods into food support.
