There are so many ways you can do REAL service for others. I don't think supporting an evil cult is a service to anyone.
I wish I had time to list them all, and I don't know where you live, but there are tons of other places to volunteer. If you're single, you can volunteer and meet decent people to date. If you're still stuck in the cult, the only men you will meet will be sick cult members, who mostly disrespect women, who believe in polygamy in the hereafter, and who think what Joseph Smith did to women is OK.
My friend was compassionate service leader when she resigned from the cult. She was changing someone's bedpan, cooking meals, driving people around, and she had her own family to take care of. She said maybe God wanted her to be "more humble." When they asked her family to clean the church's bathrooms, that was the last straw, and she resigned with her children and her husband.
If you aren't into bedpans and cleaning bathrooms, you could get outside and volunteer with the Park Service, at the local schools, help with community fund-raisers, help with a candidates political campaign, etc. These groups are very social, and you would be likely to meet men. Some of the best men are fathers, so go to McDonald's on Saturday mornings, where single fathers hang out with their kids. I was a volunteer assistant coach for a kids' soccer team, when I met my boyfriend, at age 40.
I'm just sayin', the Mormon singles are a waste of time. I used to be regional co-chairman, and after two years, I quit that calling, telling the regional rep, "This is not God's work."
