About WAIA:
WAIA includes a central office, a Board made up of AA members representing area groups and service committees which help carry the A.A. message to the alcoholic who still suffers in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
Your contributions to WAIA will help ensure the hand of A.A. is always available in person at the office, on the phone 24 hours a day and through our website aa-dc.org.
The pandemic has created a unique set of challenges and we are grateful for contributions to WAIA that have supported:
- 2,300 Calls answered by office staff and volunteers since the March shutdown, providing assistance to sick and suffering alcoholics
- Over 450 Online meetings set up and available as our physical meeting locations remain closed
- 55,841 people reached via the WAIA Spotify Public Service Announcement campaign
- 2nd Annual Sponsorship Conference and 42nd Annual Old Timers meeting hosted via Zoom
- HelpChat support in navigating new technologies for our meetings
