Temporary kitchen rental for Boardman facilities
Temporary modular kitchens are how Boardman facilities keep serving through a closure. A modular commercial kitchen rental brings the cooking line to the site, with kitchen setup for renovations planned around your schedule. If the work spills into Irrigon, 11 miles from here, or into Umatilla, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.
Common choices include the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A), the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

Local conditions and rental planning in Boardman
What past disasters mean for kitchens in Boardman
Federal records show Morrow County designated in 8 declarations since 1964, led by wildfire (2 declarations) and severe storms (2 declarations). Irrigon has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.
The most recent is Battle Mountain Fire Complex (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5514), declared July 21, 2024. Evacuations, smoke damage and power shutoffs can close commercial kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, while crews and displaced staff still need hot meals. The latest major disaster declaration is Severe Winter Storms (DR-1510), declared February 19, 2004. By incident type, the count is wildfire 2, severe storms 2, flooding 2, coastal storm 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1990s 2, 2000s 2 and 2020s 2. The records also list Lone Rock Fire (FM-5511, July 18, 2024), Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3228, September 7, 2005), Severe Winter Storms, Land and Mudslides, Flooding (DR-1160, January 23, 1997), High Winds, Severe Storms and Flooding (DR-1099, February 9, 1996) and Drought (EM-3039, April 29, 1977).
Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 5 county-based event records in Morrow County, with flood events the most common at 3. Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.
The National Interagency Fire Center maps 3 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Morrow County since 2016, together covering about 182,922 acres. The largest was the Monkey Creek fire in 2024, at 178,542 acres. After a fire, inspections, smoke cleanup and power restoration decide when a kitchen reopens, and the meals have to come from somewhere in between.
FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.
Construction projects and crew meals near Boardman
USASpending.gov lists 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Morrow County since October 2021, worth about $1.7 million together. The Department of the Interior committed $855,000 to “Replace Existing Re-Use and River Valves at the Rearing Raceways (Rearing Ponds)” in Morrow County, awarded August 2023 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Umatilla (about 7,899 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Boardman
In August 2023, the Department of the Interior awarded a $855,000 contract for “Replace Existing Re-Use and River Valves at the Rearing Raceways (Rearing Ponds)” in Morrow County, with work running to July 2024 (award record). Hermiston is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Getting emergency equipment into Boardman
Public emergency operations in Oregon are coordinated by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Stanfield, look to the agencies covering Umatilla County rather than assuming the same routes.
Good Shepherd Medical Center, a critical access hospital is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Hermiston, about 20 miles from Boardman in a straight line.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Boardman
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Boardman include the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. Heppner is quoted on the same factors, but at 34 miles away a different address can change delivery and setup terms.
Starting prices are guides, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery, setup and utilities. A written quote states the equipment, the rental period and what is included.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Boardman
Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer lists push-through low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 150A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Stanfield, 23 miles from here, as it does here.
A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. A walk-in that fails in Heppner starts the same clock on the stock inside.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Morrow County at 27°F and the average July high at 86°F, with about 14 inches of precipitation a year. July highs run about 6 degrees hotter than the average Oregon county. Four distinct seasons mean the plan covers both ends: cold-weather water lines in winter and condenser airflow in summer.
Who rents kitchen trailers in Boardman
Who rents a mobile kitchen near Boardman? Mostly manufacturers, disaster-response teams, school districts and golf clubs, along with contractors and public agencies. The need is usually the same: a working kitchen while the permanent one is unavailable. Care homes in Pendleton and school kitchens in Pilot Rock, places of about 17,026 residents and about 1,313 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.
CMS lists one hospital in Morrow County: Pioneer Memorial Hospital, a critical access hospital. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 10 public schools with about 2,349 students, in districts such as Morrow Sd 1 and Ione Sd R2.

Prepare your Boardman site before delivery
Sites in Athena, 58 miles away, and Milton-Freewater use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.

- Pad and access: a level area, a clear approach for the trailer length and room for food deliveries.
- Drainage: decide where wastewater goes, whether a sewer connection, a tank or scheduled pump-out.
The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
