Due to the evolving COVID-19 outbreak, particularly in Washington state, please be aware that our staffing and operations may be impacted for the next several weeks. We value your business and will respond to inquiries and issues as best we can and we appreciate your patience while we work through this ever changing situation.
We are sickened at the continued murder of black people in this country, including at the hands of law enforcement. We are disgusted that a system that excuses and perpetuates this violence exists at all, particularly in America. The loss of George Floyd and too many others is a tragedy. Black lives matter.
A NOTE ON NAMES - For over 30 years, we've been privileged to play a key role in the harm-reduction movement. As you read and watch, you will notice that our organization went by the name Point Defiance AIDS Projects for the first 3 decades of our existence. As of September of 2018, we have officially adopted a new name — The Dave Purchase Project — to honor our founder's spirit and acknowledge the evolution of our mission away from a single-issue focus on AIDS prevention to a broader focus on reducing the harm of drug use in its many forms on users and society.
