At least 30 million Americans are struggling with an eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating. For 45 years, ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) has been here to help. We are the leading nonprofit in the U.S. providing free, peer support services to anyone struggling with an eating disorder.
ANAD’s mission of providing free support is critical. Due to the pandemic, people are experiencing more anxiety and food-related triggers, whether or not they’ve had a history of an eating disorder. Accessing professional treatment has also become more challenging. That’s why we’re working to serve 250 people every week and hope to increase that number by 45% over the next year. Your donation will help make that possible.
Our services include our Helpline, support groups, and mentorship program. Learn more in our new video!
