Title: UK Food Banks Distribute Record Amounts Amid Rising Living Costs

The largest food bank network in the UK, "The Trussell Trust," has revealed that "the number of food parcels distributed increased by 37 percent to a record level, reaching three million parcels as of March, due to a growing number of people suffering from the rising cost of living." The network, which supports 1,300 food bank centers across the UK, announced on Wednesday that "over one million food parcels were provided to children," noting that "over the course of a year, 760,000 people turned to its food banks for the first time." Official data published last week showed a decline in the UK consumer price inflation to 10.1 percent in March; however, prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 19.1 percent in March compared to their level a year earlier, marking the largest increase of its kind since August 1977.
