Ploughshares Nursery is a non-profit social enterprise of the Alameda Point Collaborative supportive housing community.

100% of our sales support housing and services for formerly homeless families and individuals living on the old Alameda Naval Base in Alameda CA.

We advance our local community by:

• Selling products that protect the environment
• Using recycled materials whenever possible
• Creating job training and employment opportunities for residents of APC housing
• Generating revenue to support APC housing

ALAMEDA POINT COLLABORATIVE'S MISSION IS WORKING TO END HOMELESSNESS BY PROVIDING HOUSING AND SERVICES TO CREATE COMMUNITIES WHERE FORMERLY HOMELESS FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS CAN FLOURISH.

Volunteers can look forward to general clean up projects, helping us organize the shop, interaction with some friendly farm animals, and helping with general daily tasks (off-loading deliveries, propagation, etc.)
