Swansboro Community Ministries
How does Reveille partner with and serve our neighbors in Richmond’s Swansboro community?
Reveille is dedicated to building strong, lasting relationships with our neighbors in the Swansboro community through service, partnership, and shared ministry. At Swansboro Elementary School, our volunteers support students and staff in a variety of ways, including mentoring in classrooms, assisting with after-school programs, hosting teacher appreciation events, providing school supplies, and helping children attend Westview on the James summer camp.
Beyond the school, we partner with Koinonia Community Church in ministries that promote hope, reconciliation, and community connection. Together, we support initiatives such as prison ministry, racial justice efforts, and fellowship events that bring our congregations and neighbors together in meaningful ways.
