Make a Group Contribution

“Groups keep AA alive — together.”

Tradition 7 teaches: “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self‑supporting, declining outside contributions.” Group contributions are the backbone of ASBCO’s ability to serve the South Bay fellowship.

Why group contributions matter

  • Central Office operations that support all South Bay groups
  • Meeting directories and updates so newcomers can find your group
  • Phone volunteers and Twelfth‑Step lists connecting alcoholics with help
  • Access to A.A. literature and materials for meetings and newcomers
  • Intergroup support, keeping groups unified and informed
  • Outreach to hospitals, treatment centers, and professionals

Group contributions ensure that AA remains available to anyone seeking sobriety — not just at your meeting, but across the entire South Bay.

Self‑support is unity in action

  • You help carry the message beyond your meeting
  • You support the services your group relies on
  • You strengthen AA’s presence in the community
  • You uphold AA’s principle of self‑support
  • You help ASBCO remain accountable, transparent, and spiritually grounded

A simple way to support AA’s work

Most groups contribute monthly or quarterly, often after covering rent, literature, and prudent reserve. Whatever your group can give helps ensure that ASBCO can continue serving the fellowship and the still‑suffering alcoholic.
