A pre-med student in Las Vegas has designed a program to arrange the delivery of supplies and groceries for elderly and vulnerable individuals amid the rapidly escalating coronavirus outbreak in the United States.

The community program, named “Shopping Angels,” was set up by 20-year-old University of Nevada student Jayde Powell last week. It aims to connect volunteers with people who are in need of supplies or groceries, but are unable to purchase them independently.
