(CNN) Amid the desperate crowds and sparse shelves at supermarkets across the country, there is grace in the aisles. Jayde Powell is a "shopping angel," and she and her growing army of volunteers are providing free grocery delivery to the sick and elderly. "As a pre-med student, I know that people who are older or people who have heart, lung or immune conditions are especially at risk for contracting the virus," Powell told CNN. Kindness goes nationalShe started "Shopping Angels" by enlisting about 20 members of her medical fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. But Powell credits her interview with CNN affiliate KVVU for putting Shopping Angels on the national scene.
