The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope, in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness, and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.

Non-Member Contributions

Thank you for your support of Al-Anon Family Groups.

In keeping with Al-Anon’s Tradition Seven requiring every service level including the SCWS to be self-supporting, we only accept contributions from Al-Anon members. The only exception is a one-time “Memorial Contribution”.

Contributions in memory of deceased Al‑Anon members from “family” who are not Al‑Anon members up to $500 are accepted.

“Family” is defined as anyone who has a close relationship of loving care and concern for another.
