(2017·廊坊模拟)Every year Britain's biggest food bank charity prepares to supply Christmas dinners to over 60，000 people, a third of them being children, to ensure they have a hearty meal on December 25.

The Trussell Trust wants to bring at least some Christmas cheer to families struggling to make ends meet in Britain. Thousands of traditional food, such as puddings, biscuits, turkeys will be handed out. And other charities also prepare various kinds of presents for the holiday, it means thousands of others will be helped to ensure Christmas is not canceled for the worst hit families.

Despite encouraging messages from these charities that things are getting better, the number of people forced to rely on food banks continues to rise. New figures from the Trussell Trust shows since April more than 500，000 have turned to food banks for help. In the whole of the previous year the figure was 350，000.

Trussell's national food bank director Adrian Curtis said the figures for next year are expected to be even higher. Christmas is a stressful and worrying time for many families, but when there is little money and no food it is much worse."We are concerned about the ever rising number of people referred to food banks because they have hit a crisis time in their lives，" he said. Without help from our food banks some people have told us they would be eating a meal of beans on toast on Christmas Day. We have even been told by some families that without our help they would have died.

"we need to accept that something is wrong and that we need to act now to stop UK hunger getting worse，" said Adrian Curtis.
