One Alaska resident, Esther Keim , has been flying in a small plane over rural parts of south-central Alaska , dropping frozen turkeys to those who can't easily access grocery stores. For the third consecutive year, she has been airdropping turkeys to residents in remote areas, ensuring they have a turkey for Thanksgiving . Alaska 's geography, with its vast wilderness and limited road access, makes such deliveries necessary for families living far from towns.
Keim started her turkey delivery mission after learning of a nearby family struggling to find food for the holiday. This year, she's delivering 32 frozen turkeys to people living in remote cabins with no road access
