Bon Secours has combined food truck with classroom in the new Class-A-Roll.
Class-A-Roll, a 20-ft-long, 13-ft-tall trailer, is actually a fully equipped kitchen built specifically to be able to provide hands on demonstrations and cooking classes.
“For years, Bon Secours has been dedicated to improving the health and economic vitality of Richmond’s Church Hill and East End neighborhoods by providing improved access to health care services and programs,” said Sister Anne Marie Mack, C.B.S., senior vice president for sponsorship, Bon Secours Richmond Health System. “This latest program is dedicated to children and families throughout Richmond with the goal of empowering them to make smart and healthful decisions around food and nutrition.”

In addition to providing cooking classes and nutritional education to parents and children, Bon Secours hopes to provide greater access to fruits and vegetables in undeserved areas of Richmond which lack access to fresh foods. Bon Secours has set a goal to increase fruit and vegetable consumption by 10 percent by improving access to neighborhood food markets.
Staffed by volunteer nutritionists, culinary students and other health partners, Class-A-Roll will visit local schools, housing communities, churches, community centers, health centers including the YMCA, and a variety of health and fitness related events.
