Two teenagers from Montgomery Blair High School.Dhruv Pai，16，and Matt Casertano，15，were both buying groceries（食品雜貨）for their grandparents in early March，as coronavirus（冠狀病毒）cases started to appear in the Washington area.That's when Dhruv realized the greater need — and a possible way to solve the problem.
The two created Teens Helping Seniors，which connects older people with volunteers who will deliver（遞送）groceries right to their doorstep for free.They developed the idea in March just before schools closed because of the outbreak，which suddenly gave them and their classmates a lot more time to help out.Matt said they planned for Teens Helping Seniors to be a network for classmates at their high school at first，but within a week they started to develop because of the high demand（需求）.By the end of the second week，Matt and Dhruv already had their first chapter outside Montgomery County，in Albany，N.Y.The group now has more than ten chapters in the United States and one forming abroad in Montreal.
Regula Guess，who lives in Potomac，heard about Teens Helping Seniors from a neighbor，when the area started to shut down in mid-March.Guess，65，said her husband is at risk because of his age，and she was afraid of going to the store.
Teens Helping Seniors connected Guess with Jacob Kaplan-Davis，a junior at Wootton High School.Guess said Jacob would call her from the store if he had questions. "I was just so thankful for what these young people were doing，" she said. "It's just amazing how this brings out the good in people."
Jacob，16，said he spends six to eight hours a week buying groceries.Usually，he makes two deliveries a week.
"The first time I went，it took me forever to find everything.But soon I started to learn the layout（布局）and got faster，" said Jacob，who seldom went grocery shopping before volunteering for Teens Helping Seniors. "It's given me a greater understanding of my mom when she goes grocery shopping，" he said.
