Oakland County Helps Joplin - The Departure

A convoy led by 51st District Court Judge Jodi Debbrecht and Main Street Oakland County Program Coordinator Bob Donohue departed at 2:00 p.m. on June 16th to deliver supplies donated by southeast Michigan residents to the victims of the tornado that destroyed most of Joplin, Missouri.

We talk with Judge Debbrecht and Oakland County Executive L Brooks Patterson about all the events leading up to the departure.

When the convoy arrives in Joplin, it will make multiple stops to deliver the needed supplies. They also will meet with Joplin Mayor Mike Woolston and his staff, who will accept the hundreds of children's books collected for the youngest victims of the tornado
