About BE Foundation
BE Foundation is a nonprofit formed to eradicate homelessness, while also creating lasting solutions to combat poverty, hunger, illiteracy, and social injustices. We strive to enhance the overall standard of living of those in underserved communities, ensuring that their basic needs are met. BE Foundation also aims to promote education through the use of various events organized to promote literacy for the members of the community. At BE Foundation, we also cater to women and children, veterans, and those whose lives have been impacted as a result of incarceration, drug abuse, physical and mental illnesses, as well as anyone who seeks relief, in order to transition into a modern society.
The purpose of BE Foundation is to provide advocacy, essential support and resources to individuals and families to reduce the impact and serve the vulnerable and underserved population of our communities.

My Story
Emmanuel’s humanitarian spirit and love for people started at a very young age. His personal story of growing up in an impoverished village in Africa, provide him connectedness with the communities he serves today. His experiences of life’s hardships gave him insight as to how he could help others stabilize their lives to give them hope for a better future. He volunteered at his local community center, teaching youth basketball fundamentals, mentoring young inner-city girls and boys, and tutoring children with disabilities. Emmanuel believes that no human being should have to live in the streets and struggle to meet basic needs, such as housing, employment and healthcare.
