Magic Mountain donated 800 pounds of fresh produce to a local food bank, Santa Clarita Grocery, on Friday after the park’s closure due to coronavirus.

“Six Flags Magic Mountain donated excess food while we are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus outbreak,” said Magic Mountain Spokesperson Sue Carpenter. “We will continue to support local outreach programs during this time.”

The donation included a variety of produce, such as tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cabbage, potatoes and apples, according to Carpenter.

“It was unbelievable,” said Santa Clarita Grocery Director Bradley Grose. “We’ve been making adjustments every day and working with less volunteers, and after probably our lowest week of intake from our local grocery store, all of the sudden, Magic Mountain shows up with a  truckload of produce.”

While this donation was a result of the park finding itself with a particular excess of food while they are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, the company has regularly given back to the community over the years.

“We also regularly donate to the SCV Food Pantry and L.A. Regional Food Bank throughout the year,” Carpenter said.

For example, Magic Mountain’s annual Bag-A-Ticket food drive, which offers a free ticket to anyone who donates a grocery bag of non-perishable food items during the month of November, supports the L.A. Regional Food Bank.

“The donation is part of Magic Mountain’s continued commitment to ensuring no one goes hungry in Los Angeles County,” Carpenter said.

Magic Mountain remains closed at least through March, at which point the company is expected to reevaluate the situation, according to park officials.

Those that wish to donate to Santa Clarita Grocery have two options.

The organization accepts monetary donations via its website, here, which goes towards the purchase of eggs, milk and toilet paper to ensure the availability of essentials.

Alternatively, Santa Clarita Grocery accepts food donations daily from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. through a drive-through drop-off. Canned goods, pasta, pasta sauce, peanut butter and jelly are among the most highly recommended donation items, according to Grose. 

Additionally, pickup from Santa Clarita Grocery has also gone to a drive-through model to maximize social distancing practices.
