Temporary kitchen rental for Gresham facilities
A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Gresham is one of the quickest temporary commercial kitchen solutions: a fully equipped mobile kitchen on a pad, ready to connect to power and water. A project that crosses into Wood Village (about 4,722 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Match the trailer to the menu: the 28ft Mobile Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.

Local conditions and rental planning in Gresham
Past emergencies and recovery needs in Gresham
OpenFEMA lists 10 disaster declarations that include Multnomah County, going back to 1964. The most frequent incident types were severe storms (4 declarations) and flooding (3 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Wood Village as well; its own declaration history is listed there.
The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4768), declared April 13, 2024, with the incident beginning January 10, 2024. Severe storms interrupt power, roads and deliveries together, which is hard on any operation that serves meals on a schedule. By incident type, the count is severe storms 4, flooding 3, wildfire 2 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 3, 2010s 2 and 2020s 2. Before that came Wildfires and Straight-Line Winds (DR-4562, September 15, 2020), Eagle Creek Fire (FM-5203, September 3, 2017), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4258, February 17, 2016), Severe Winter Storm, Record and Near Record Snow (DR-1824, March 2, 2009) and Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3228, September 7, 2005).
Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 19 county-based event records for Multnomah County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 10 of them, flood events for 9. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.
NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Multnomah County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Clark County, about 16 miles away, where the Nakia Creek fire burned 1,930 acres in 2022.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Construction projects and crew meals near Gresham
Since October 2021, 92 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Multnomah County as the place of work. In May 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $77 million contract for “West Coast Hopper Maintenance Dredging 2023” in Multnomah County, with work running to March 2025 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $77 million Department of Defense contract, “Operation and Rental of the Dredge Oregon 2011-2016,” starting October 2011 in Multnomah County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $34 million to “Project: West Coast Hopper Maintenance Dredging 2026” in Multnomah County, awarded April 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Base Year - Pipeline Dredging,” a $29 million Department of Defense contract from October 2023 in Multnomah County (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 project in Fairview, about 10,796 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Rebuilds and remodels around Gresham
In May 2021, the General Services Administration awarded a $32 million contract for “911 Seismic - Abaas Upgrades & Noaa Ti” in Multnomah County, with work running to January 2024 (award record). Whoever remodels in Troutdale starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
Emergency access and staging near Gresham
The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Oregon. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. Staging and access details differ again in Happy Valley, in Clackamas County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center, in Gresham itself.
Local rental costs in Gresham
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Gresham include the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995 and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. Milwaukie is quoted on the same factors, but at 10 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.

Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Gresham
Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type high-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 300A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Happy Valley, 6 miles from here, as it does here.
When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Gresham. A walk-in that fails in Milwaukie starts the same clock on the stock inside.
A typical January night in Multnomah County drops to 34°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 79°F, and the county gets about 63 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 5 degrees warmer than the average Oregon county. In a wet climate the pad has to drain, so a rental kitchen is placed on firm, graded ground with a dry route for deliveries.

Prepare your Gresham site before delivery
Moving the job to Sandy or Oregon City changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.
- Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
- Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.
- Approvals: the local health authority for Multnomah County decides what review a temporary kitchen needs, so ask first.
The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
