LSU football players brought high energy and joy to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank in a spirited volunteer event that felt more like a celebration than a service project. Mike Manning, CEO of the food bank, described the atmosphere as uplifting and inspiring, with players dancing, laughing, and bonding—showcasing a level of camaraderie that could translate positively on the field. Their visit wasn’t just for show; they packed over 42,000 pounds of food, although much of it consisted of snacks and Gatorade rather than the nutritious staples the food bank urgently needs.Manning emphasized the growing challenges the food bank faces, including reduced distributions and increased demand due to inflation and recent SNAP benefit cuts. Serving 11 parishes in the region, the food bank supports not only the food insecure but also working families struggling to make ends meet. Rising costs and stagnant wages have made it harder for many to qualify for assistance, creating a gap that organizations like the food bank are trying to fill.While food drives help, Manning stressed that monetary donations are far more impactful, allowing the food bank to purchase bulk produce and essentials at a fraction of retail cost. With school resuming, donations from Catholic and Christian schools help replenish summer-depleted inventory, but the need remains high—especially for seniors and the working poor. Manning’s message was clear: the food bank needs continued support, and the LSU team’s joyful visit was a powerful reminder of what community spirit can achieve.
