The company says it's exploring opportunities to expand the service to more locations.

"In times of crisis, there is no better testament to a community's character and strength than the selflessness of its people and its institutions, as we all come together to support each other in every way possible," said Cynthia Hundorfean, AHN President and CEO.

"We are so thankful to Giant Eagle and the many others who have also stepped up in their own unique ways to support our courageous caregivers, and their families, at this challenging time."
