DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Families lined up Saturday morning to get food put on their tables during this difficult time. One major poultry producer moved to online sales because of big turnouts.
Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach was along Hugh Howell Road in Tucker where everything was sold out Saturday. It’s been so popular, the company added another delivery day Sunday, but that’s sold out too.

Customers were able to buy 40-pound boxes of chicken breast, tenderloins and thighs from Wayne Farms.
The company is one of biggest poultry producers in the country based in Hall County, but with plants all over the south.
