Esther Keim has been flying low and slow in a small plane over rural parts of south-central Alaska , dropping frozen turkeys.

Alaska is mostly wilderness, with only about 20% of it accessible by road.

In winter , many who live in remote areas rely on small planes or snowmobiles to travel any distance.

Keim buys about 20 turkeys at a time, with the help of donations, usually by people reaching out to her through Facebook.

Ultimately, she hopes to set up a nonprofit organization to solicit more donations and reach people across a bigger swath of the state. And it doesn’t have to stop at turkeys. “There’s so many kids out in the villages,” she said. “It would be cool to maybe add a stuffed animal or something they can hold.” — Bohrer reported from Juneau , Alaska ..
