Volunteers from six Santa Clarita Valley high schools step forward to help those shut in by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Christine Riel stared at the shopping list on her cellphone the same way Lewis and Clark might have once studied their maps, searching for a clear path forward while hoping to avoid any unnecessary backtracking.
At a time when many adults have been left feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the spread of COVID-19 and the disruption of normal life it has caused, students from six Santa Clarita Valley high schools have stepped into the void, offering critical help to many whose needs were going unmet. The delivery service serves Santa Clarita, the city of San Fernando and West Los Angeles.
Armed with that information, the group dispatches students to collect the goods, pay for them and deliver them to the client’s front door, texting a copy of the receipt so they can be repaid online. And though they have no physical contact with the clients, the students do get emails. “I was like, ‘I don’t know if you know this, but I’m still 16,’” said Busnawi, whose biggest order drained $438 from a bank account she built giving tennis lessons in a park.
Santa Clarita, a wealthy bedroom community about 35 miles north of Los Angeles, is best known for the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park and its 100 miles of hiking trails and bike paths, so the residents that Six Feet Supplies serves are not poor; they just can’t go shopping for themselves. That’s an issue that strikes close to home for Mendoza, 17, whose parents both have diabetes, leaving them with a greater risk of complication should they get COVID-19.
About an hour before Riel began her Albertsons trip, Nicholas Moy logged on to Zoom chat from his bedroom about a mile away. Days after classes were suspended at Valencia High, he and four junior classmates begin searching for their own way to help people cope with the pandemic, eventually designing a website where they meet, electronically, several times a week.
