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 by sending a book or pamphlet to someone who might find it helpful.
❤️ Make a contribution 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
