About Us
Our Mission
Eat Laugh Give is a non-profit dedicated to helping deserving families with basic necessities related to food scarcity and kitchen supplies. Our mission is to inspire connections and kindness in an effort to make the world a happier place for all. Every family, despite individual circumstances, deserves time together to celebrate, connect, and enjoy each other’s company. Many times this happens in the heart of the home – the kitchen! - around a shared meal or family table.
Where it all began...
When the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, Allison Hill decided to head to her family's summer home in Ogunquit, ME, with her husband and kids. 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.
They began documenting their family meals, which led to the idea of creating a cookbook. Allison did the cooking, everyone did the tasting, the girls took over naming & styling, Chauncey took her designer eye to each page, Noni edited until she couldn't take it anymore (ha!)...and, Cristina did all the photography. All of this effort ultimately led to the creation of their cookbook, "Feeding Family Feeding America". With 100% of the proceeds going directly to Feeding America, the book has raised enough money to serve close to 100,000 meals to those in need. Feeding America is the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization and helps 1 in 7 Americans.
But their work doesn't stop there. In 2022, these efforts turned into the non-profit Eat Laugh Give and The Heart of the Home initiative was born. The Heart of the Home supplies deserving families with kitchen items based on individual family needs. These could include things like a crockpot, refrigerator, stove, freezer, plates/utensils, counter chairs, kitchen table, pots & pans, and all the other little things that can really add up, which families may not be able to afford.
