(CNN) A monthly food drive in DeKalb County near Atlanta is seeing more and more hungry families in need as Covid-19 has shaken Americans' health and economics. Delores Rich, who relies on her retirement income, arrived for the food drive at 7 a.m. -- three hours before it began -- to ensure her spot in line. Dolores Rich arrived to the food drive three hours early to secure her place in line. Rich was among 700 people who came to this Dekalb County food drive on Saturday in need of food for themselves and their loved ones. In June, food banks nationwide were serving almost 60% more clients on average compared to last year, according to Feeding America , a network of 200 food banks across the US.
