Back to EpisodesDiapers, Dignity, and the Real Cost of Parenting: The Sweetest Nonprofit You’ve Never Heard Of
Description
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the smallest items make the biggest impact. Adam sits down with Cami Statler, Executive Director, and Lydia Gong, Bilingual Operations Manager and Lactation Educator at Pregnancy and Parenting Support of San Luis Obispo County (PPS), a nonprofit many are calling “the sweetest on the Central Coast.”
They talk openly about the emotional realities of parenthood, the transformative power of early support, and why something as basic as a diaper can be the difference between a parent staying in school or having to drop out. PPS isn’t just handing out baby gear, they’re nurturing dignity, mental health, and generational impact.
Right now, they’re teaming up with Meathead Movers for the #FillThoseTrucks Diaper Drive to restock the county’s only diaper bank after federal funding was cut. That truck you’re seeing at Target in SLO? That’s the one. And it’s filling up with hope, one diaper at a time.
LIVE TODAY (July 9th):
• Target in San Luis Obispo
• 11990 Los Osos Valley Rd
• 9 AM to 5 PM (OR LATER)
• Stop by, grab some diapers or unscented baby wipes, and help fill the truck for SLO families in need!
