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.

It was in the early 1900s that Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe introduced the bagel to Lower Manhattan.

A lot of hoopla has been made about Monday’s New York Times article about how the bagels in California are better, written by the publication’s California restaurant critic, Tejal Rao. The bagels here are the “best,” the headline reads, with a wink of a parenthetical “Sorry, New York.” The assumption, of course, is that the bagels in New York are considered to be the pinnacle of what the product should be.
