Six days a week, Santa Clarita Grocery opens its warehouse to people in need.
The charity has a variety of foods available to Santa Clarita residents who use its service. Fresh milk and eggs, vegetables, canned foods, cereal and baked goods are some of the items that can be found in the warehouse.
As guests arrive for pickup, the warm and fresh bagels that are dropped off at the grocery are some of the first items to quickly disappear from the shelves.
Atlanta isn’t known for its vast selection of fresh bagels. Shops and longtime bagel institutions, like Bagel Palace in the Toco Hill shopping plaza, have sadly come and gone over the years. Other shops, like the no frills Marietta bagel and deli stalwart Bagelicous, continue to attract new generations of loyal regulars. Just remember to bring cash. A few bagel shops throughout Atlanta installed water filtration systems, attempting to mimic the water used at shops in Brooklyn, New York considered the home of the American bagel. While Atlanta may lack the proliferation of bagel shops found in New York City, there are shops specializing in New York-style bagels worth seeking out here.
