High energy prices and rising food costs mean that people around the world are seeking help with everyday expenses.In Britain, many are turning to places known as food banks to help them be able to eat something healthy each week.Food banks receive donations from food stores and from individuals who have more than they need.The food banks then pass along items such as bread, milk and vegetables to people who do not have enough to eat.Some food banks also make meals of their own.Food banks are important because restaurants and food stores are passing on their higher costs to buyers.But people are having trouble buying food because their earnings are not rising at the same rate as the cost of goods.In Britain, financial experts think prices will continue to rise.International Monetary Fund experts believe Britain's economy will grow the slowest among the developed nations in the Group of Seven.The group also includes the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan.Economists say the war in Ukraine is one reason for the fast price increases.
