Unity Intergroup Mission Statement
The primary purpose of Unity Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous is to carry the message of recovery to those with the problem of eating compulsively, by fostering the practice of the twelve steps and twelve traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, guided by the twelve concepts of OA service; and to serve and represent member groups and /or intergroups.
