This fall, GBSNA proudly sponsored and volunteered at the Granite United Way Community Baby Shower held at Dover Middle School. Student nurses Devon Doran and Kaeli Rumore were among those who helped support families by distributing supplies and connecting caregivers with vital resources.
Building on that momentum, GBSNA is hosting another Community Baby Shower right here at Great Bay.
Community Baby Shower Details:
📅 Friday, February 6
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
