—October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month—

Click here to see how Up+Adam and our friends at Lumina Alliance are spreading awareness and providing shelter for survivors through impactful events.

Today on Up+Adam, I am thrilled to welcome the inspiring young women behind the Pots to Plates project: Aria, Cielo, Yanelly, and Juliana. These junior high and high school students have been making a meaningful impact in our community over the past several years by transforming donated pots and succulents into beautiful, upcycled pieces of art. They sell their creations to raise money for the SLO Food Bank, helping to combat food insecurity right here on the Central Coast.

In our conversation, we explore how the Pots to Plates project began, what drives them to keep going, and what they have in store for the future. These young women not only have hearts of gold, but they also embody the spirit of service and giving back. Make sure to stop by their upcoming sale this Sunday, October 13th, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Mountain Air in San Luis Obispo, located at the corner of Broad and Marsh Streets.

Support these incredible girls by stopping by the sale, sharing their story, or even donating pots and succulents for their future projects. Follow their journey and see more of their creations on Instagram at @pots.to.plates.project.
