#BLUEnited Community Spotlight
Murfreesboro City Schools is issuing a heartfelt call to action to the Blue Raider community to rally together in support of the student’s experiencing homelessness. With about 400 families currently without stable housing in our area, we must join forces to provide immediate assistance and long-term solutions to address this pressing issue.
At each event throughout the day, Blue Raider Athletics will have collection bins available for toiletry donations.
