What public records show for food service in East St. Louis
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-Line Winds, And Floodng (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4819, severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and floodng, on September 20, 2024 for St. Clair County, which includes East St. Louis, for an incident that began July 13, 2024. It is one of 7 major disaster declarations covering St. Clair County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Public works repair in St. Clair County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Cahokia Completed Sewer Repairs Sites (1,2,3,4,5,15)" (utilities, about $565,000) in St. Clair County after DR-4461, a severe storm declared September 19, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in East St. Louis
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in East St. Louis can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to East St. Louis
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. Clair County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Illinois are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for East St. Louis would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Washington Park and Sauget. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in East St. Louis
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using East St. Louis's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose an assisted living community's kitchen in East St. Louis schedules a 3-month renovation, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-55 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
