Addressing the country from the Windsor Castle chapel where his mother, Elizabeth II, was interred in September, the 74-year-old also thanked people for the "love and sympathy" expressed following her death.
Standing aside a sparkling Christmas tree, the sovereign noted in the annual royal message -- broadcast at 1500 GMT -- that it is a "particularly poignant time for all of us who have lost loved ones".
He then turned to the impact of the country's growing economic woes, as decades-high inflation eats into earnings and escalates strikes over pay across the public and private sectors.
"I particularly want to pay tribute to all those wonderfully kind people who so generously give food or donations, or... their time, to support those around them in greatest need," Charles said, dressed in a blue suit.
"Our churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and gurdwaras have once again united in feeding the hungry, providing love and support throughout the year."
The king also commended charities for their "extraordinary work in the most difficult circumstances".
He added: "Such heartfelt solidarity is the most inspiring expression of loving our neighbour as our self."

Kate’s utter class vs crazy traitor meghan.
at one point Lt Col Johnny appeared to try to get Louis to hand over the red gnome he was swinging around. Louis wasn’t interested in turning it over.
He is going to be a handful but it keeps the public interested. I think they have more fun watching Louis than the always solemn Prince George.
