Good News At Noon Shelter
Founded in 1988 by retired school teacher and principal Gene Beckstein, and his late wife Margie, Good News at Noon Shelter has been feeding, clothing and teaching the poor and homeless of Gainesville, Georgia, for fourteen years with no funds from the government. A Bible-based ministry, the mission of GNAN is, in part, “to help people help themselves through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; to give hope to those who have no hope in the eyes of the world.†A tenet of the Good News at Noon Shelter ministry is to never ask anyone for funds or other provisions except God. Nevertheless, GNAN serves some 40,000 free meals per year through the donations and volunteer assistance from many area churches and individuals. Founder: Gene Beckstein, Fletcher Law (Director), and Thomas Ramirez (Academy Director).
