Port Community
Fills Trailer For
Hurricane Relief
T he Port of Baltimore community
participated in filling a 48-foot
trailer with household items as
part of December’s relief effort to aid
victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The effort was led by the Baltimore
Port Alliance (BPA). O.S.T. Trucking
provided the trailer and Ports America
Chesapeake arranged for donation
sites on Broening Highway and at the
Towson United Methodist Church. For
the Broening Highway collection site, the
Association of Maryland Pilots provided
a tent.
The trailer was two-thirds full of
brand-new household and personal
items when a driver from O.S.T. headed
north to New York. Volunteers from an
organization called Hands Across the
Americas also made donations and con-
nected the BPA with the Tunnel to Towers
Foundation Relief Center in Staten Island.
“The victims in Staten Island were
very grateful for the shipment, but
even more appreciative that nearly all
of the items donated were new,” said
the Maryland Port Administration’s
Katrina Jones, who serves on the
Education and Outreach Committee
of the BPA. “Included in the delivery
were new blankets, bed linens, towels,
toaster ovens, space heaters, air mat-
tresses, irons, paper products, toiletries
and other miscellaneous items.”
Among other Port-related businesses
getting involved in their own Hurricane
Sandy relief efforts, Samuel Shapiro &
Company Inc., a customs broker and
