Just before Thanksgiving, 25 years ago, my family’s dining room table became more than a place for a holiday meal. It provided the platform for millions of meals, as my father started Douglas Shaw & Associates right then and there, going on to serve alongside dozens of compassionate organizations and ministries worldwide.

I’ve always felt thankful to be a part of this homegrown effort that has expanded to a family of friends who are clients, colleagues, and partners in helping transform lives.

That’s a gift—and as it says in 1 Peter 4:10 (ESV), “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”  What could be more vital during this season of thanksgiving!

So as we look ahead to Thanksgiving Day, I want to give my personal thanks along with the company’s for the privilege of partnering with organizations that are part of what is right with the world.

It is an honor to serve organizations like yours with excellence now, for the next quarter-century—and beyond!
