So if "Burgundy Crescent" doesn't mean anything, what is BCV?

The founders met each other through an organization called GLOVES (Gay, Lesbian, and Other Volunteer Singles), which has since ceased to exist. We enjoyed the idea of a social volunteer group and thought it would be fun to bring it back to life. We want it to be fully inclusive and decided to include couples as well as singles. So whether you are single or coupled, alone or with your partner, you are welcome to join us for volunteer activities that support our community, both gay and gay-friendly.

Mission Statement

The purpose of Burgundy Crescent Volunteers (BCV) is twofold. First, we are a source of volunteers for local and national gay and gay-friendly community organizations in the Washington, DC area. Second, we bring gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender singles and couples together for volunteer activities that are social in nature.

BCV Designated as Non-Profit
