https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/no-school-no-problem-two-teens-start-no-contact-grocery-delivery-service-for-senior-citizens/522-04373049-8eee-411f-b7a0-0d407665f65dMONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — 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.
Teenagers and young adults interested in volunteering for the delivery service are asked to email TeensHelpingSeniors@gmail
