We serve locally, and we advocate nationally.
2022 was a busy year for Swords to Plowshares. At all levels of our organization, we made strides to expand care to Bay Area veterans who need essential services. While serving locally, we made ripples in state and national conversations around veteran suicide prevention, care for aging veterans, and permanent supportive housing. The work we undertook in 2022 emboldens our commitment to enhancing the lives of all veterans.
