Eat scones & support BASE! In honor of Black History Month, we’re hosting a fundraiser to benefit BASE Southern Oregon. Medford Food Co-op is donating 100% of the proceeds from our housemade heart-shaped scones to support BASE and the local Black community this February. Show your love, celebrate the diversity of Southern Oregon, and enjoy our housemade scones this month –  your choice of Cranberry or Lemon-Ginger. Made fresh in the Café and available while supplies last each day.

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.
