Health & Wellness

In 2020, The BASE partnered with the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation to help ensure access to healthy foods in our local community. As a result, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been able to provide access to fresh fruits and vegetables, full bags of assorted groceries, packed lunches and local market gift cards to our student athletes, their families, and the greater Roxbury community. We have worked with locally based, minority-owned vendors as well, in our efforts to create systematic change and ripple effects through our initiatives.

In 2022, the BASE Health & Wellness Initiative is expanding exponentially, building on our healthy foods project to create a unique “Urban Health and Wellness Center.” Our goal is to support the social, emotional, and behavioral health of the entire community through access to high-quality health care, wellness programs, and innovative technology.
