July 2nd 2024.
Are you one of those who struggle to put a hot and filling meal on the table for lunch or dinner? You're not alone. With a staggering 8.4 million people experiencing food poverty in the UK, many families are facing the same challenge. But fret not, because Morrisons is here to help. In collaboration with Heinz, the popular supermarket chain is offering a free hot meal from its Morrisons Cafes to those in need.
For the first two weeks of July, customers can simply walk into any Morrisons Café and claim a jacket potato topped with Heinz Cheesy Beanz without having to pay a single penny. And the best part? No questions asked. All you have to do is say the codeword "Henry" to the staff, which is a tribute to the founder of Heinz, Henry Heinz.
But here's a fun fact - you don't have to stick to just saying "Henry". You can use the name as part of a phrase, such as "Is Henry here?", "Can I have a Henry?", or "Can I ask for Henry?". The trained staff at Morrisons Café will respond to all these phrases and more. Normal price for the jacket potato meal is £4.25, but during this special scheme, it's completely free until July 14. And the best part? You can claim the offer once per day, every day of the week. That's definitely good news for those who need some financial relief.
But wait, there's more. Morrisons is also continuing their Kids Eat Free plan, where families can get a free kids meal with any adult main meal that's over £5. And that's not all. If you buy a hot drink at the Morrisons Café, you can also snag a free jam doughnut. This is all part of the supermarket's 125th birthday celebrations, where they're giving away free doughnuts with any hot drink until July 14. So, will you be using the "Henry" codeword for a free meal at Morrisons? Let us know in the comments.
Believe it or not, this isn't the first time Morrisons has launched the "Ask for Henry" initiative. They have previously collaborated with Heinz for similar campaigns in 2022 and 2023, where they were able to feed tens of thousands of people. And this year, they're hoping to help many more.
According to Morrisons Café Senior Buying Manager, Chris Strong, customers have been incredibly grateful for their previous "Ask for Henry" initiatives. So, they're thrilled to bring it back once again. He also mentioned that they understand the added financial pressure during the busy summer months, especially for families with extra mouths to feed. That's why they're happy to team up with Heinz to offer this delicious meal.
In addition to their efforts to provide free meals, Morrisons has also made significant changes in their stores to accommodate those who struggle with loud noises, such as those who have been diagnosed with autism. They previously offered quiet hours between 9am and 10am on Saturdays, and for the first hour of opening on Sundays. And now, they have extended this to include 2pm to 3pm every Monday to Thursday.
During these quiet hours, the lights are dimmed, the music and radio are turned off, there are no tannoy announcements, and the checkout beeps and other electrical noises are turned down. They also encourage customers to reduce the movement of trolleys and baskets. Look out for the poster outside the supermarket that alerts you to the quiet hour. Do you have a story to share?
