Alaskan Grocer Makes Weekly 14-Hour Boat Trip to Supply Entire Town
by Amy Furr

A man in Gustavus, Alaska, is doing whatever it takes to make sure his entire town is fed during the coronavirus pandemic.

When the state’s ferry system shut down because of the health crisis, Toshua Parker, the owner of Icy Strait Wholesale, was unable to get shipments of supplies from the Costco in Juneau to restock his store, according to WBAL-TV.

However, with no alternative delivery method and 450 residents in the remote area depending on him, Parker took matters into his own hands.

“Alaskans are fiercely independent and resourceful; you really have to be to survive here. So when a problem arises, we don’t typically look to someone else for help, we just find a way to do it,” he said.
