About the Tacoma Needle Exchange
The Tacoma Needle Exchange, located at 3716 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, is a health institution that provides syringe exchange services to help combat the spread of HIV/AIDS and other blood borne viruses among drug users. Founded in 1988 by Dave Purchase, the institution aims to minimize risks associated with drug use by providing new injection supplies to participants. By building trust with the community, the institution is able to engage in conversations about drug use, sex practices, and other issues. Participants are encouraged to bring their used injection supplies to exchange for new ones. The outreach staff has strong relationships with service providers in the South Puget Sound region and can refer participants to appropriate resources when needed.

Reviews of Tacoma Needle Exchange
"You don't have to be addict to go in there and they are pretty knowledgeable in things."
"Hands down the most helpful, non judgemental, amazingly genuine, kind and caring people around. This place is the model for any and all other organizations attempt at providing out reach, and harm reduction services."
"I am so grateful for their services and the compassionate staff has always treated me like a human. There isn't any judgment here and I am always met with a cheerful attitude and a smile. For an introvert suffering from social anxiety, this place FEELS and IS safe. Thank you TNE."
"Everytime I pull a Google search for this place I see Sandra's review and it just makes me sad, why does everyone want to continue the divisiveness, why do so many people want to feed into the negativity oh, and the fear, and the hatred? And what's worse, is that people are so ignorant about the things that they claim they so vehemently oppose. If it's an issue you care so much about, then why not take some time to get to know what it's about, the people who run the place, the people who rely on it, the lives that it's saved? No one has ever woken up in the morning and said, "Gee, you know I've never tried heroin, but marijuana is nice, so it must be even better! I think today I'll go straight to the needle exchange get me some free needles, hit the corner find me some dope, and give it a go!" I really wish we could all just find something that could unite us all against the corrupt politicians and against the status quo that just serves to keep the average people down, instead of taking sides with lying politicians. It's just sad."
"Always find ca friendly conversation & am greeted with a smile. They perform an invaluable service without any preconceived notions of anyone. They can empathize rather than simply show sympathy."
