OUR MISSION
War causes wounds and suffering that last beyond the battlefield. Swords to Plowshares’ mission is to heal the wounds, to restore dignity, hope, and self-sufficiency to all veterans in need, and to prevent and end homelessness and poverty among veterans.
Founded in 1974, Swords to Plowshares is a community-based not-for-profit organization that provides counseling and case management, employment and training, housing, and legal assistance to veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We promote and protect the rights of veterans through advocacy, public education and partnerships with local, state and national entities.
OUR VISION
All veterans will have access to the care and services they need to rebuild their lives.
OUR MODEL
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 within the community and continuum of care.
