In collaboration with three other local agencies, we created and passed around a questionaire to determine the risk of HIV transmission among sex workers in the Portland Metro Area. In 1999 the Danzine Resource Room opened up in downtown Portland. There is a reading library, a video library, art work, and gear. It's a small room, and now we have a place to meet people and offer drop-in hours to use services. During this whole time we throw fundraisers to keep us going, and are reciepients of operational grants to operate.
People donate furniture, supplies, time and expertise for the cause.
Danzine graciously accepts money and volunteers .
