Swords to Plowshares

Who we are: We're a community-rooted veterans services organization on a mission to end veteran homelessness. Since 1974, we've helped thousands of Bay Area veterans navigate the challenges of post-military life to achieve health, housing, wellness, and stability.

1000+ Beneficiaries: Each year, we provide free services directly to 3,000 veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area, including hundreds who move into our permanent supportive housing. We also advocate for veteran-centered systems of care at local, state, and national levels.

How we help: We provide wraparound support for veterans, including food security, housing assistance, mental health counseling, job training and placement, legal help with VA benefits and discharge upgrades, and community connection to help veterans regain stability.

Why your help is needed: Veterans facing homelessness and poverty need more than services—they need basic necessities. In-kind donations provide food, clothing, and hygiene items that restore dignity, build trust, and help veterans engage in the support that leads to stability.
