"If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity, your best bet may be the Burgundy Crescent Volunteers."
Melanie H. Alston-Akers, Women's Monthly, July 3, 2001

"Some call it a great way to volunteer, others say it is a good way to get to know gays in the area, and still others call it 'the epitome of the gay community'. Most contend it is just plain fun."
Kara Fox, Washington Blade, December 21, 2001

"Gays and lesbians from all corners of the metro Washington, D.C. area are answering the call to help others by joining Burgundy Crescent Volunteers."
Margaret Maree, Pride .02, June 2002

"The Burgundy Crescent Volunteers may have a nonsense name, but it's no joke when they lend a hand for local charitable organizations."
Bryan Anderton, Washington Blade, November 15, 2002

"For some participants of BCV, envelope-stuffing is a favorite activity, providing them with an opportunity to sit back and talk as well as help an organization. Other members enjoy cooking meals for such programs as D.C. Central Kitchen and the District's Food & Friends."
Christen Aragoni, Dupont Current, March 5, 2003

"An excellent way to meet new people and find out more about local organizations while volunteering."
Chord Bezerra, Community Profile, Metro Weekly, November 20, 2003

"Fed up with the bar scene? Tired of setups, personal ads, speed dating and Social Safeway? A growing number of single adults are discovering a more meaningful way to find romance: volunteering. If you've been looking for love in all the wrong places -- or just want to make friends -- try these good-conscience alternatives: Burgundy Crescent Volunteers. Though its name is meaningless -- the founders just made it up -- this 1,200-member group has been making an impact since 2001 by providing volunteers to gay and gay-friendly organizations."
Kelly DiNardo, Sunday Source, Washington Post, January 18, 2004

"The Gift of Giving: Through their work with Burgundy Crescent Volunteers, some area gay men and lesbians are devoting time this holiday season to helping people with special needs. It’s much more fun to volunteer with a group of people, because it becomes a social event and a way to help the community...Every time you go to volunteer you meet somebody new."
Yusef Najafi, Washington Blade, December 24, 2004

"Burgundy Crescent Volunteers take doing good deeds to heart regularly. The local group supplies GLBT volunteers to a number of worthy causes year-round. You'll meet lots of different people in relaxed social settings, and because you'll be working together you will instantly have something to talk about. Besides, you have to admit, drawing your next friend or lover from people who are nice enough to make the world a better place might be a very good idea."

"Burgundy Crescent helps more than GLBTA"
Rebecca Shillenn, American University's Eagle Newspaper,
September 26, 2005

"In the local GLBT community, volunteering has a color: burgundy. Burgundy Crescent Volunteers have infused themselves into nearly all aspects of the gay community and beyond. But the BCV palette recently added another color: green. BurGREENdy is the group's new environmentally friendly initiative."
Will O'Bryan, Metro Weekly, June 5, 2008

"Some eco strides have been made within LGBT circles. For instance, the Washington D.C.–based nonprofit Burgundy Crescent Volunteers, which places LGBT volunteers at gay and gay-friendly organizations, began reaching out to environmental groups this year. In June the group also helped "green" D.C.'s annual pride celebration. "Climate change and pollution affect all of us, gay and straight, liberal and conservative," says BCV board member Rebecca Roose."
