Summer break is supposed to feel carefree. But for a lot of families across San Luis Obispo County, it also means losing access to school breakfasts and lunches, stretching grocery budgets even thinner, and quietly trying to figure out how to make it all work. On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with Molly Kern from SLO Food Bank for a conversation about what food insecurity really looks like on the Central Coast, and how the community continues to show up for one another in powerful ways.

Molly shares how the food bank is now serving more than 52,000 people every month, why summer creates extra pressure for working families, and how their upcoming Open House is designed to pull back the curtain on the incredible operation happening inside the warehouse every single day. Adam and Molly also get into the wildly competitive Summer Breakfast Bag Build-Off finals, volunteer culture in SLO County, raising kids with a spirit of service, and why food is about so much more than what’s on the plate. It’s community. It’s dignity. It’s connection. And yes, Adam will be out there emceeing the event too.

If you’ve ever wondered how the SLO Food Bank actually works, who it helps, or how to get involved, this episode gives you a real look inside one of the most important organizations on the Central Coast.
