Mass Feeding & Community Meal Sites
Yes.
KDT provides mass feeding and community meal sites for disaster survivors and responders, with field kitchens, serving lines, dining tents and the crews to run them.
Typical configuration

- From a few hundred to thousands of meals a day, by number of kitchens and sites
- Site types
- Fixed meal sites, mobile feeding routes and shelter meal delivery

- Site support
- Dining tents, tables, handwash, toilets, trash and lighting
- Reporting
- Daily meal counts and site status to the mass care lead
After a hurricane or a flood takes a town, people need to eat before they need anything else, and the grocery stores and restaurants are closed. Mass feeding is the operation that fixes that: fixed meal sites in parking lots or community centers, mobile routes into neighborhoods, and meals delivered to shelters.
KDT sets up field kitchens, serving lines, dining tents, handwash and trash, then staffs and runs them. We work under the county or state mass care lead and alongside the voluntary agencies already on the ground, and our work aligns with FEMA ESF-6 mass care practice.
Meal counts change daily as power comes back and people move. We report counts, adjust production, and close sites as the community recovers.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide mass feeding for disaster survivors?
Yes. We set up and run mass feeding operations, including field kitchens, community meal sites, mobile routes and shelter meals, for survivors and responders.
Do you work with the county and voluntary agencies?
Yes. We work under the jurisdiction's mass care lead and alongside the agencies already feeding, filling gaps in capacity rather than duplicating them.
How do you size a feeding operation?
From the affected population, how many have power and food at home, and shelter counts. We start with an estimate and adjust from daily meal counts.
