Fred Meyer in Fairbanks has a small 'free' produce section specifically for kids and people in need. Why should offering those in need be a government decision? #akleg
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Grubby, the female opossum that hitched a ride to Alaska on a shipping container two years ago — spurring a manhunt, memes and a frenzy in a small coastal town — has died, the Alaska Zoo said.
