What public records show for food service in Lancaster
Past emergency
Lancaster and DR-4722
The most recent federal disaster on record for Kittson County, which includes Lancaster is DR-4722, severe storms and flooding, declared July 19, 2023. Kittson County has had 11 major disaster declarations 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
Repair projects around Lancaster
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "App Cert - Kittson Countywide Roads and Culverts" (roads and bridges, about $634,000) in Kittson County after DR-4659, a severe storm declared July 13, 2022; 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 Lancaster
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Lancaster 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 Lancaster
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Kittson County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Minnesota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Lancaster would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Kittson County and Hallock. 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 Lancaster
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lancaster'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 2-month project at a public high school cafeteria in Lancaster, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-94 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, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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 $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
