Heinz and Morrisons have extended their free meal offer, allowing anyone who ‘asks for Henry’ at a Morrisons café to receive a hot jacket potato topped with Heinz Beanz, for free. The offer, due to end on November 6, has now been extended until November 27.
The free meals are open to anyone, no questions asked. Heinz hopes the extension will be of further help to absolutely anyone who may need it, from those looking for a quick and filling lunch, to families looking for a hot and tasty teatime treat after school.
The initiative was inspired by the work of Henry J. Heinz, founder of Heinz and known philanthropist. From a young age, Henry would make food with his mother in their family kitchen, using ingredients picked from their garden, to share out to his local community. The young boy then went from good to great, founding Heinz and becoming one of the great benefactors of his time, and was often quoted as saying “give all you can wisely”.
Heinz is honouring Henry’s legacy of kindness and goodwill by doing what he did best: helping to feed the nation when times are tough.
Jojo De Noronha, President Northern Europe at Heinz said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to our ‘ask for Henry’ initiative with our partner Morrisons. That’s why we’re so pleased today to be announcing that it will be open for an extra three weeks.
"We believe everyone deserves the goodness, comfort and warmth a can of Heinz Beanz can bring, and we hope the extension of our ‘ask for Henry’ initiative can be of some help at this difficult time, and would encourage anyone who may feel they need or want it to come forward and claim it, no questions asked.”
