Where it all began...
When the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, Allison Hill and her family drove to the small town of Ogunquit, ME, as a safe haven to quarantine. Of course like most people, the family started spending more time together, especially around mealtime. Eventually, their quara-team grew, her three nieces moved in and her parents came up to stay in their home next door too.
As the disappointments from the pandemic started rolling in, the family decided to focus on a project that could help others. They were so fortunate to have internet, a warm home, and food on the table. Many were going without these basics.
They came up with the idea to create a family cookbook with 100% of the proceeds going to Feeding America. Everyone took part - cooking, naming, styling - and, of course, tasting! Cristina even did all of the cookbook photography. All of this effort ultimately led to the final product, "Feeding Family, Feeding America".
Their family community work evolved from there. In 2022, these efforts turned into the non-profit Eat Laugh Give as a more direct way of volunteering and giving back to other families. Their mission is to make the world a happier place, especially by bringing families together through food, laughter, and love.
