We're vets helping vets
Swords to Plowshares is a Bay Area-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting all veterans every step of the way.
We've been helping Bay Area veterans since 1974
We are a community-based not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We are dedicated to supporting nearly 3,000 homeless, low-income and at-risk veterans in the Bay Area every year.
Our Mission
War causes wounds and suffering that last beyond the battlefield. Swords to Plowshares’ mission is to heal the wounds of war, to restore dignity, hope, and self-sufficiency to all veterans in need, and to prevent and end homelessness and poverty among veterans.
Our Vision
All veterans will have access to the care and services they need to rebuild their lives.
Our Philosophy
Our model of care is based on the philosophy that the obstacles veterans face — including homelessness, unemployment and disability — are interrelated and require an integrated network of support.
