Our Impact
Sportsmen’s serves more than 5000 young people and 1,000 adults annually. We provide free programs for low-income families in the Blue Hill Corridor, which includes parts of Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, Hyde Park, South Boston and Jamaica Plain – 94% are people of color, and 83% speak more than one language. These neighborhoods have higher rates of chronic illnesses including diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and COVID-19 – making our health and wellness services vital.
We strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of the families we serve. Now, more than ever, that investment is essential.
