What is the OA HOW Virtual InterGroup (HVIG)?

Trusted Servants

Our common purpose is to carry the message of recovery to those who suffer from compulsive eating.  Our fellowship serves the needs of our two-hour OA HOW phone meetings.  Through group conscience, we support this website, a We Care List of contacts, and participate in world service.
