Mobile Kitchen Plans to Bring Healthy Cooking Demos to Underserved Neighbors

Share On Social!

A mobile kitchen will soon bring cooking demos and healthy meals to Richmond, Virginia’s East End. This at-risk community includes five government-run housing projects whose residents are in need of better food and nutrition.

Called the Learning Kitchen, the fully equipped commercial kitchen’s mission is to teach people how to prepare healthy foods.

Commissioned by the nonprofit Bon Secours Health System, it’s the latest in a series of outreach efforts in nutrition and health. The system has helped bring fresh foods to communities in need and has sent out caravans to provide medical care for the uninsured.

The kitchen-on-wheels may also go to schools to provide nutritional education and be used in health-related promotional events.
