White Marsh Business To Aid Oklahoma Tornado Relief Efforts

Bobby's Portable Restrooms, in a partnership with Wendy's of Joppatowne, need your help.

A White Marsh-based business with family ties to Moore, OK, is partnering with Wendy’s in Joppatowne to aid relief efforts following Monday’s deadly tornado.

Bobby’s Portable Restrooms will deliver items donated at Wendy's in Joppa, MD. Items can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22, at 1060 Joppa Farm Rd.

For Bobby’s Portable Restrooms CEO Bob Lang, the deadly tornado that killed dozens hit a little too close home. Lang’s father lives just 30 miles outside of Moore, OK—the town of 56,000 ravaged by 200 m.p.h. winds.

“Fortunately, my father is safe and unharmed,” Lang said in a statement.  “However, there are countless victims with no home, no clothing - nothing.  We’re going to load up our trailer with donations from generous Marylanders and head out there.”

This isn’t the first time Lang has aided in disaster recovery.

“During Hurricane Katrina, Bobby’s Portable Restrooms went on location in Louisiana as part of the disaster relief program,” according to a release. 

Lang said he is hoping to pack his fleet of trucks with: 

  • Water

  • Diapers
