OA South Bay IntergroupThe South Bay Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous serves the entire South Bay area with meetings in Gardena, Inglewood, Lakewood, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, San Pedro, Seal Beach, and Torrance, California.
Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength, and hope are recovering from compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively. There are no dues or fees for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology, or religious doctrine; we take no position on outside issues. Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors and to carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps of OA to those who still suffer.*
According to OA's Seventh Tradition "...financial support of OA is our responsibility as members of the Fellowship. We don't ask for or accept support from outside sources."** Therefore, if you are a member of the Overeaters Anonymous fellowship, please consider making a donation today. Your support is much appreciated.

Meeting Spotlight
Young People's Meeting
Tuesdays, 7:00 PM
United Methodist Church
540 Main Street,
El Segundo, CA
(enter off Mariposa Street)
Please join us for our one-hour meeting every Tuesday night in El Segundo. We are a young people’s focus meeting, but all are welcome to join us. We’re less than a mile from the 105 Freeway, and there’s ample parking at the church and on the street.
We have a speaker on the first Tuesday of each month, who brings his or her message of experience, strength, and hope. On subsequent weeks our leader selects a topic and readings from Voices of Recovery and/or For Today, and we read, write, and share.
This is a comfortable, welcoming, and non-judgmental meeting at which we work toward achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight and image. We’ll save you a seat!

Celebrate An OA Milestone
“When I came to OA I felt defeated, isolated and alone. That has all changed now. With the help of the fellowship of OA and my sponsor, I have changed my life and my way of reacting to life. The amazing secret to the success of this program is that we are not alone on this journey. Our fellowship gives us the ability to do what we cannot do alone.” Mary F.
One of the ways we support one another is by celebrating our successes. OA has always given out “chips” for milestones, but now there is a new way of celebrating an OA achievement. The South Bay Intergroup now accepts donations in honor of members’ milestones. Whether your sponsor is celebrating another year of abstinence, your sponsee has completed another Step, or a new fellow has achieved a personal goal, your gift will honor, support and offer encouragement on the journey to recovery.
To make a donation via PayPal (you do not need an account), click on the DONATE button on this page. Follow the prompts to make your secure donation. Directly below the DONATE button you will find a DONATION CERTIFICATE button which links to a beautiful certificate that can be personalized and printed. It will serve as a keepsake and something to be treasured, giving encouragement to continue on the journey.
Each donation will also help the South Bay Intergroup to carry the message of hope, compassion and unity to the compulsive eater who still suffers. There is no better way to honor someone’s journey and support Overeaters Anonymous/South Bay.
