You shop, we’ll donate! In honor of Black History Month, we’re hosting a fundraiser to benefit BASE Southern Oregon. Medford Food Co-op will donate 1% of gross sales from February 8th to February 14th to support BASE and the local Black community. Show your love, celebrate the diversity of Southern Oregon, and pick up some groceries from the Co-op beginning Thursday, February 8th through Wednesday, February 14th.

Visit the Co-op on Thursday, February 8th from 3–5pm to talk with BASE representatives and learn more about their work to build an inclusive community and combat structural racism.

BASE (Black Alliance & Social Empowerment) is a volunteer nonprofit community organization that provides events, community information-sharing, connection, support, and resources that work towards the well-being and advancement of Black people living in Southern Oregon. BASE serves to build an inclusive community to combat structural racism and create a welcoming, supportive, and shareable platform for Black community members to connect, collaborate, and ultimately prosper in Southern Oregon.
