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.
