Employees and physicians of Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto in Southaven got together this week to spread some holiday cheer for a number of foster children in DeSoto County through its Angel Tree Gifts program.

They were able to provide toys, bikes, and gifts through the assistance of DeSoto County Child Protective Services. DeSoto County Emergency Services provided the transportation for the donated items.  

The presentation of the donations was made Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.
