In February, love shows up beyond cards and flowers—through shared meals, stocked groceries, and volunteers ensuring Louisiana neighbors have the food they need.

In the New York Times Opinion video “America, the Hungry,” people from across the country (including five students from Bossier Parish Community College) describe hunger not as an abstract statistic, but as a daily, physical reality—headaches, migraines, and the exhaustion that comes from running on empty. The piece centers lived experience: parents skipping meals so their children can eat, households doing constant math to stretch groceries, and the quiet fear of not knowing when the next meal will come. It underscores the scale of the crisis—one in seven people in America and at least 47 million people living with hunger—while making clear that hunger can look “normal” from the outside even when it is shaping every decision inside a home.
