Morrisons offers free meals to everyone in cafés over October half term

The supermarket giant is offering a helping hand to anyone in need

Morrisons is offering free meal to anyone who needs them this October half term – and there’s no catch. A hot meal is being given away completely for free for customers in the supermarket’s cafes throughout the half term starting on Wednesday, October 26.

The supermarket is collaborating with the Heinz to offer a jacket potato with baked beans to any customer who ‘asks for Henry’. The free meals will be available at all of London’s Morrisons cafés while stocks last.

The free meals will run throughout the October half term, offering a ‘helping hand’ to parents with their children off school and to others in need during the cost of living crisis. The nationwide initiative was inspired by the work of Henry J. Heinz, founder of Heinz, whose birthday falls in October, reports WalesOnline.

Jojo De Noronha, president Northern Europe at Heinz, said: “October marks the birthday of a very special member of the Heinz family, our founder Henry J. Heinz. Henry brought comfort and goodness to others, not just through his food but his actions. We want to honour his good heart and kind spirit by doing what he did best, helping feed people in times of need – and that’s why we’re launching ‘ask for Henry’ with our partner Morrisons on 26th October.

“We believe everyone deserves the goodness, comfort and warmth a can of Heinz Beanz can bring, and whilst we know it doesn’t fix the problem, we hope our ‘ask for Henry’ initiative can be of some help at this difficult time for many, particularly over half term.”

Sian Whittle, category director of Morrisons Cafés, said: “We know that our customers are under real financial pressure at the moment and are therefore pleased to be partnering with Heinz on its ‘ask for Henry’ initiative to offer customers a free jacket potato topped with Beanz.”
