Project Overview
The City of Portland, Oregon, launched an initiative to support individuals experiencing homelessness by providing safe, stable shelter and essential on-site services.
Central to this mission was the need for a reliable, on-site kitchen capable of delivering nutritious, freshly prepared meals every day to residents of the shelter.
Challenge
Amid a growing homelessness crisis, the city required a long-term mobile kitchen solution to prepare and serve meals for around 100 people daily, ensuring dignity and nourishment for residents while maintaining efficiency and safety on-site.
Solution
Mobile Culinaire deployed a 40' mobile kitchen trailer equipped for full-scale meal preparation, designed for continuous use over three years. Complemented by mobile laundry, restroom, and shower units, the setup provided a complete, self-sufficient service infrastructure that improved daily living conditions and supported the shelter’s long-term operations.

Yes, it is possible to modify the equipment schedule based on available inventory.
The minimum lease term is 1 month.
Our mobile kitchen trailers are delivered with all electrical, plumbing, and gas connections pre-installed. It is the client’s responsibility to bring the power source, water source, and gas source (if applicable) to the unit and connect. It is also the client’s responsibility to provide a waste source with a grease trap if necessary. All utility costs during the lease are the responsibility of the client.
The permit requirements vary across states, counties, and localities. You should get in touch with your Local Health Department, Fire Marshal, and Building Department, inform them about your project so they can guide you on any particular requirements you need to fulfill. In most cases, it is required that you obtain a permit and expect an inspection once the kitchen trailer has been set up.
