MD: Two Teens Start No-Contact Grocery Delivery Service For Senior Citizens

- 'No School, No Problem, Two Teens Start No-Contact Grocery Delivery Service For Senior Citizens,' WUSA9, 4/10/20.

After seeing classes get canceled as a result of the coronavirus, two teenagers used the opportunity to start a grocery delivery service for senior citizens that has surged in activity.

The service, called "Teens Helping Seniors," was started by 16-year-old Dhruv Pai and 15-year-old Matt Casertano.

Both are students at Montgomery Blair High School and were inspired to begin their effort after seeing their own grandparents impacted by the spread of the virus.

"We thought maybe there are people in vulnerable populations out there, especially seniors, who don’t have family to rely on during these times," Pai said. "I said, 'Maybe I can make their life a little bit easier and also reduce the risk.'"...
