The Greater East Bay ACA (GEBACA) Intergroup has funded a trial program to provide a limited amount of free literature to the community. Part of this fund is dedicated to two programs supporting individuals in financial need (and meetings that they attend).

First, select below whether you are requesting the literature as an individual or as a group representative.

The below form is for individuals to use to request their own free literature.

Please make sure the following criteria apply to you:

  • You are requesting a single piece of literature for yourself.
  • You identify as in financial hardship or low income.
  • You are somehow affiliated with a meeting in the GEBACA Intergroup area.
  • You have not requested a free book through any GEBACA program in the past year.
  • You have a mailing address within the counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, San Joaquin) that GEBACA serves.
  • If you stop the ACA program and are able, you will make an effort to donate the book to GEBACA or your local home group, or to a fellow traveler, or to a library that will accept it.
  • You will not resell the book.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact literature@gebaca.org.
