🌈 OA Rainbow: A Weekend of Recovery & Growth

Welcome from the Chair

Dear OA Service Bodies,

I have the honor of serving as the acting chair of OA Rainbow, the LGBTQ+ Focus Service Body of Overeaters Anonymous. We exist to support Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and + members of OA — offering connection, recovery, and affirmation in a safe, inclusive space.

Today, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt and urgent message:

OA Rainbow is at risk.
Without your support and participation, we may be forced to disband — and with that, a vital part of our fellowship could be lost.

We’re asking for your help.

Please share this page with your meetings and members. Let them know:
✅ We are here.
✅ We matter.
✅ They are welcome.

📣 Join Us for a Weekend of Healing & Hope

We’re hosting a special Weekend of Recovery and Growth, and all are welcome — you do not need to identify as LGBTQ+ to attend. While voting in the annual meeting may be limited, participation is open to everyone seeking recovery and fellowship.
