Salvation Army Murfreesboro is gearing up for a high-impact spring season filled with community outreach, spiritual reflection, and practical advocacy. Sergeant Ruby Keith joins the show to detail a packed calendar, beginning with the "Love Feast" on April 2nd—a dinner-centered worship event themed around belonging—and the massive Easter Egg Hunt and Brunch on April 5th, featuring over 2,000 eggs and partnerships with local favorites like Red Robin and Whataburger.

Beyond the holiday celebrations, the conversation dives deep into the Red Shield Dialogues, a quarterly series tackling the "poverty myth" and the razor-thin margin between stability and hardship in our local community. Sergeant Keith explains how the upcoming April 11th dialogue will prioritize financial literacy with local banking partners, all while the organization continues its vital work distributing 24 pallets of food and hygiene packs to area schools for the spring break gap.
