Who We Are
The Rainbow is proud to be a source of information for LGBT+ members and our allies in Overeaters Anonymous (OA). We endeavor to provide a supportive community to everyone in the organization.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Rainbow carries the message of recovery to those who identify as
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, or other
and have issues with compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors
by fostering the practice of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
of Overeaters Anonymous, as guided by the Twelve Concepts of OA Service.
The Rainbow is here to serve and represent individuals, member groups, intergroups, national service boards, language service boards and regions.

7th Tradition
The Rainbow is part of Overeaters Anonymous but does not receive funds from the OA world service organization. Your contribution funds this website and other necessities, including helping to defray travel costs for our delegate to the World Service Business Conference.
We appreciate the generosity and involvement of our Members and Member Service bodies. Every donation goes towards helping The Rainbow make a greater, positive impact within Overeaters Anonymous.
Be part of our supportive community by contributing whatever you can. Remember, there is no monetary amount too big or too small. Any amount DOES make a difference. Thank you !!!
