The Talkeetna Free Box is not open, yet.

For months, many Talkeetna residents have waited for the re-opening of the Free Box Community Store.  Recently, rumors have circulated that the store is indeed open once again.  Luann Tysdale says that is not true, however.  She says that she has allowed people to take clothes away while she is cleaning on weekends, but that more needs to be worked out, including potentially a new name, before the store re-opens.

Luann Tysdale says that the re-opening date is still up in the air, and that things will be a little different than when the Free Box shut down last summer.  She says that the new incarnation of the free box will only deal with clothing and bedding, and Luann Tysdale says she hopes a recycling program can be implemented as well.

For now, no donations are being accepted, and there is not a date for the re-opening of what was once the Free Box Community Store.
