WSI Board Spotlight

This month, meet the WSI Service Group Support Committee Chair, Yolanda P. (Cambridge, MA)

Fun Fact: The Service Group Support Committee (SGSC) supports service bodies across the entire FA fellowship, helping members from different regions share ideas, experience, and solutions that strengthen recovery and service.

Upcoming Project: The Eastern Area Intergroup Service Support Weekend (SSW) will be held November 13–15, 2026, in Arlington, Virginia. With the theme Everything is Service, the weekend offers fellowship, sharing, and opportunities to deepen recovery through service. Learn more here.

How FA Members Can Be of Service: Members can support Local Service Groups, Chapters, and Intergroups, share experience and ideas, and volunteer for events such as SSW. Each EAI and WAI local service group has a page on the FA website.

Why This Service Matters to FA: SGSC helps service bodies thrive, fostering unity, strengthening recovery, and helping carry the message to the still-suffering food addict.

Contact: If you’d like to learn more or offer your skills, please contact Yolanda P., SGSC Chair, at sgsc@foodaddicts.org.

Practicing gratitude is easier when we're reminded of the gifts of recovery. A subscription to Connection delivers experience, strength, and hope right to your mailbox or email. Consider it a monthly gratitude list you don't have to write yourself!

Reminder: When you submit a story by August 1, 2026, you will be entered into a drawing for a FREE digital subscription to Connection magazine! See details here. Thank you!
