Postal Service slowdowns leave rural town of Aniak, Alaska, vulnerable - Business Insider

The pandemic has taken a toll on Aniak, Alaska's post office, leaving postmaster Eleanor Sanbei and the town of 500 vulnerable.The isolated, rural town of Aniak, Alaska, relies on the post office for vital deliveries of food and medicine.

A post office in the rural town of Aniak, Alaska, is a lifeline to an area completely surrounded by water. Eleanor Sanbei has been the town's postmaster for nearly two decades and knows almost every resident. "If you were in a big city like Anchorage, you go to a Walmart or Sam's or Costco, or you get your groceries with your vehicle," resident Darlene Holmberg said. "Here, we're getting our groceries, hopefully, from Amazon for some other reasonably priced store. We really rely on the postal service for basic necessities."

Air deliveries to Aniak have declined since the pandemic broke out, making residents wait longer for their packages.The slowdown has had dire effects for local business owners, like Esther Donhauser Deihl, who owns a restaurant called the Hound House.
