How to Contact or Get Involved with the SFV AA Central Office

Updated

The San Fernando Valley Alcoholics Anonymous Central Office can be reached by phone at 818-988-3001 (24-hour helpline, available day or night) or by email at [email protected] (typically answered within a day). You can also visit the office at 16134 Sherman Way, Van Nuys, CA 91406. To get involved, use the site's "Volunteer With SFV AA" option; to support the office, use "Contribute Today"; and to stay informed, subscribe to the newsletter.

Contacting the Central Office

The site lists three direct channels, each suited to a different need:

Channel Detail Best for
24-Hour Helpline 818-988-3001, available anytime, day or night Immediate questions, meeting information, reaching out for help
Email [email protected], usually replied to within a day Non-urgent questions, follow-ups, general information
Office address 16134 Sherman Way, Van Nuys, CA 91406 In-person visits and local contact

There is also a contact form on the site. The page describes it as anonymous and confidential and asks for your name, email, an optional phone number, and a message.

What to expect when you call or write

The helpline is described as available day or night, so it is the right choice when you need an answer now. Email is better for questions that can wait a day. The form is a fit if you prefer to write without using your own email client; the page states messages are anonymous and confidential.

Getting involved as a volunteer

The site's "How to Become a Volunteer?" section points to a "Volunteer With SFV AA" option and states the office would "love to have you." That is the entry point for offering your time. The page does not list specific volunteer roles or shift requirements, so use the volunteer link or call the helpline to ask what is currently needed.

Supporting the Central Office

The site includes a "Contribute Today" option under a section stating "Your Support Means the World to Us." Contributions support the Central Office's mission: carrying the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the still-suffering alcoholic by providing information, literature, and other services to A.A. members, groups, and others throughout the San Fernando Valley and surrounding communities.

The page does not publish amounts, methods, or any cost details, so treat the contribute link as the starting point and confirm specifics directly with the office.

Staying informed

Two options keep you connected:

  • Newsletter — the site invites you to "Subscribe for our Newsletter!" to stay up to date with the latest information from the central office. The form asks only for an email address.
  • Special Events — a "View SFV AA Events" link lists upcoming events.

Related needs the office can point you to

If your reason for contacting the office is one of these, the site already has a direct path:

  • Finding a meeting — use "Search Meetings" / "Find A Meeting."
  • AA literature — use "Browse Literature."
  • Learning about AA — use "What Is AA?" or take the "20 Questions" self-assessment. The site is explicit that only you can decide whether to give AA a try.

For anything not covered by those pages, the helpline and email above are the general fallbacks.
