We're so grateful to Barnes & Noble in Dawsonville for hosting a Holiday Book Drive to support our NGMC NICU! 📚

From November 1st through December 16th, you can donate books purchased at their store to help NICU families.

Stop by Barnes & Noble in Dawsonville anytime during the drive to donate—every book makes a difference to families during a challenging time.
