<p><b>Single Volunteers of Bucks County (SVBC)</b> is a group of busy, energetic
singles who enjoy making a difference for our communities and meeting new single
friends. </p>
<p>SVBC was formed by Marge Meehan and Charlene Briegel in June 1998. It is modeled
after the national organization, Single Volunteers of America. To view other
chapters around the country and world check out <a href="http://www.singlevolunteers.org" target="_blank">http://www.singlevolunteers.org</a></p>
<p><b>Single Volunteers of Bucks County build houses and friendships. </b>Since
SVBC's inception the group has provided countless volunteers for over 1000 hours
of community service. <b></b>Single Volunteers of Bucks County (SVBC) work with
many local nonprofit organizations to help the needy. Among them -- Aid
to Friends, Churchville Nature Center, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America,
Habitat for Humanity, Interfaith Housing, American Diabetes Association, Family
Services, Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation, Five Mile Woods,
and many more. To see our upcoming volunteer projects and how you can
join in the fun of volunteering, please see the listings under "Volunteer
Events".</p>
<p><b>SVBC is not a dating or matchmaking service.</b> It is an opportunity to
do volunteer work and meet other singles. As SVBC grows, we will continue to
add projects to better serve the community and our members. </p>

<p><b>How does Single Volunteers work for me and the community?</b> The concept
behind Single Volunteers is simple. Find projects with nonprofit organizations
where SVBC volunteers can help--jobs from answering phones for telethons to
building houses to staffing blood drives or stuffing envelopes. Staff and project
leaders compile a team who get together in a productive, positive environment
and get the job done and done wonderfully well. </p>
