Pierre Bennett of LifeSource Foundation Takes On Poverty in United States

RESTON, VA–(EMWNews – August 25, 2008) – With many US charities and organizations

currently focused on international relief and development projects, the

founder of a Virginia-based organization is focusing his efforts on

eliminating poverty and homelessness here at home in the United States.

The LifeSource Foundation works nationwide to eliminate poverty by

providing affordable housing to disadvantaged families, offering food and

shelter, assisting in job-skills training and encouraging the

entrepreneurial spirit in others.

“Our organization is dedicated to helping Americans with the belief that we

can’t offer others what we can’t successfully do for ourselves,” says

Pastor Pierre Bennett, founder and president of the LifeSource Foundation.

“The goal is to create a poverty-free America, one community at a time,” he

adds.

Founded in 1999, the LifeSource Foundation has formed a network of

relationships across the country to assist families outside of the

organization’s headquarters in Reston, Virginia. To date, approximately

85,000 individuals have been assisted through multiple projects and

programs.

In addition to LifeSource, Pierre Bennett has also founded God’s Luv

Ministries, a non-denominational Bible-based ministry located in Vienna,

Virginia.

For Pastor Bennett, the foundation is the practical application of the

Biblical principles he teaches through his ministry.

“There is a clear Biblical mandate to clothe the naked, feed the hungry and

heal the sick. LifeSource enables us to fulfill these commandments and make

an impact on people’s lives in the process,” he says.

Bennett adds that his foundation is currently growing and is seeking

individuals across the country who would like to establish partnerships

through product donations, financial support, volunteer opportunities or

community mobilization efforts.
