On Feb. 23, 175 North Greenville University students joined volunteers from Greenville-area churches and ministries for REVEAL, an annual one-day service event promoting community service and evangelism. The event was hosted by the school’s Baptist Student Union. Students worked alongside volunteers for Camp Marietta, Miracle Hill ministries and the Greenville Women’s Clinic. Work sites included a sports camp, a food pantry and a thrift store, and students served food and prayed with men and women at the Salvation Army center. The day of service “opened my eyes to the needs around me,” said sophomore Meaghan Fox of Columbia, who volunteered at the Generous Garden Project, which provides food to the homeless and underprivileged.
