Ways to Give in OA

Dear OA Member,

At this time of year, many of us are reflecting on how we can make a
positive difference–whether through kindness, service, or supporting
causes we care about. In OA, giving can take many forms, and each one
helps strengthen our Fellowship and welcomes those who are seeking
recovery.

Throughout December, we invite you to reflect on the ways you might
offer support and connection within the OA Fellowship. Here are just a
few meaningful ways members can “give” within OA:

❤️ Welcome a newcomer at a meeting or reach out to someone you don’t
know yet.

❤️ Share a message of hope with someone who is struggling.

❤️ Offer service, such as reading, helping with technology, or
staying after to clean up.

❤️ Share OA literature [1] by sending a book or pamphlet to someone
who might find it helpful.

❤️ Make a contribution [2] to help OA carry the message worldwide.

If you feel moved to offer support through a financial contribution this
month, know that your generosity will help OA provide essential
resources around the globe. Contributions sustain tools like the Find a
Meeting search, support the development and translation of OA
literature, maintain worldwide service efforts, and ensure that
newcomers everywhere can access the hope and recovery OA offers. Every
gift strengthens OA’s ability to carry the message to those still
suffering, no matter where they live.

Thank you for all the ways you give–through your presence, your
service, your kindness, and your support. Together, we help keep OA
strong, welcoming, and available to everyone who seeks recovery.

With gratitude, Overeaters Anonymous Board of Trustees
