WAI Service Group Support
WAI Service Group Support
The Service Group Support Committee supports the work of Local Service Groups in WAI. A Local Service Group consists of two or more FA members from more than one FA meeting group who combine resources to do service for FA in their area. In situations requiring a formal decision, only members with at least 90 days of continuous abstinence in FA who are working with an FA sponsor shall have a voice and a vote at local service group meetings.
The reasons for doing service are threefold:
- It supports our personal recovery
- It spreads the word of FA to the still-suffering food addict
- It builds fellowship among our members

Western Area Intergroup Local Service Group Financial Aid Application
Western Area Intergroup supports local service groups that perform the Public Information, 12 Step, Office, connection, and Teens & Twenties work defined by the respective World Service and intergroup committees in their areas. Expenses incurred from this work are normally funded by FA meetings. Since FA members may be doing these services in an area without a local meeting or where financial resources are not available, WAI is offering limited financial reimbursement to support these local service group efforts. Hence, this spreads the message of FA recovery and the fellowship is strengthened in all areas, even in areas with no established in-person FA meetings. The goal of these funds is to inspire and kickstart the presence and strength of FA recovery, rather than be a continual or indefinite funding source for an area.
An LSG may apply for up to $400 in a fiscal year. This amount is not guaranteed. Approval is contingent upon several factors, including available funds, number of requests, and the proposed service project.
