What public records show for food service in St. Matthews
Past emergency
FEMA's 2025 declaration for Jefferson County
The most recent federal disaster on record for Jefferson County, which includes St. Matthews is DR-4864, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 24, 2025. Jefferson County has had 13 major disaster declarations since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. 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 Jefferson County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Pond Creek Flood Pump Station #1 and #2 - Pump Equipment Damage" (water control facilities, about $500,000) in Jefferson County after DR-4864, a severe storm declared April 24, 2025; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches St. Matthews, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in St. Matthews that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near St. Matthews
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Dereck Guthrie Water quality treatment plant pump station 1" (buildings and equipment, about $437,000) in Jefferson County after DR-4860, a other declared February 24, 2025; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in St. Matthews can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to St. Matthews
Kentucky is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Jefferson County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Kentucky borders Virginia, our lead market, so projects here are planned much like our Virginia work. Equipment for St. Matthews would travel I-64 and local routes, as it would for nearby Richlawn and Norbourne Estates. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in St. Matthews
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using St. Matthews'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
A public high school cafeteria in St. Matthews plans 3 months of work gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.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-64 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.
