What public records show for food service in Lester
Past emergency
Lester and DR-4796
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Lyon County, which includes Lester, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 9 major disaster declarations covering Lyon County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Lester stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Lyon County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "LCSR Roads - Surface Repair 100% Complete" (roads and bridges, about $3.1 million) in Lyon County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; 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
Rebuilding public buildings in Lyon County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Lyon County Annex Building" (buildings and equipment, about $870,000) in Lyon County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Lester serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Lester
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lyon County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Iowa are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Lester would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Larchwood and Alvord. 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 Lester
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lester'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 Lester schedules a 3-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-80 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $20,670 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
