About O.S.S.
Our Mission
Our mission is to unite the Mashpee, and Cape Cod, community to reduce the frequency of overdoses with life saving supplies, education, and a stigma-free environment.
Our holistic and harm-reduction focused approach means we "meet people where they are" and support them unconditionally- regardless of their current substance misuse status.
Our Vision
We envision a community where people with, affected by, or experience substance misuse receive the support they need wherever they are on their journey.
Our
Story
How it started...
One Shared Spirit 501c(3) was established March, 16th of 2021 with the goal of helping those in need who are either in or seeking recovery from substance misuse. Studies have proven the benefits of the holistic approach to recovery, and we started OSS with the intention and determination to bring that approach to the Barnstable County community along with the lived-experience of our staff. We started small, in the comfort of our director's home, and now an office space in Mashpee and we are growing every single day.
We are a small group with big dreams to help the Barnstable County community and be there for anyone who needs us.
