The Beaumont Chapter of the American Red Cross continues to serve provisions to members of their effected community in cooperation with local, state, and national partners. As the Red Cross continues its assessment of recovery needs; 15 Emergency Response Vehicle serving sites, 1 Drive Through site, and 1 Multi-Agency Kitchen site will remain open until further notice and updated every day.
This latest list includes The Spirit of America, a premier American Red Cross mobile kitchen. The Spirit of America is a self-contained, 53-foot trailer designed to produce as many as 30,000 hot, nutritionally balanced “home style” meals daily from within heavily impacted disaster areas. Meals prepared in the mobile kitchen are then loaded on Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicles and distributed to disaster victims throughout a disaster area.
The “Spirit” can operate anywhere: next to a standing building, in a parking lot or even in an open field. The unit can function in a stand-alone mode, or be connected to working community water and electrical systems. It contains potable (fresh) water tanks and wastewater disposal tanks, four propane tanks and a 65 kw silent-running generator. The kitchen facilities include three tilt skillets, two stacked convection ovens, a roll-in-rack oven, an industrial size mixer, hot water on-demand system, five stainless steel sinks, and a walk-in refrigerator. The “Spirit” also carries a pressure washer, a fire suppression system, an electric lift, heating and air conditioning systems, a gas leak detector, and a winterization package.
