Never Enough Volunteers For The Many Requests We Receive
From Bill & Bob’s first visits to suffering alcoholics in hospitals, to the first successful institutional meeting at San Quentin Prison in 1942, and to the present day, AA has ceaselessly carried the message of hope and recovery to the alcoholic who is confined.
Whether in a psych unit, transitional living, rehab, or the County Jail, NorCal Area H&I Committee conducts meetings in Alameda County facilities that have requested our services.
There are never enough volunteers to respond adequately to the many requests we receive, and so many opportunities to carry the life-saving message of AA go unfilled. We urge you to join in our efforts to perform this vital work by volunteering.
