Baptist DeSoto has launched its annual Shoeboxes for Soldiers drive to collect supplies for DeSoto, Marshall, Tunica, Tate and Panola county troops stationed overseas. The hospital is asking Baptist team members and the community to drop off shoebox-sized boxes full of toiletry items and snacks at the information desk anytime on Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Oct. 31. For large quantities of donations or for more information, please call Claire Hick, Baptist DeSoto’s marketing director, at 662-772-4950.
