This October, following in the footsteps of founder Henry J. Heinz, Heinz is launching ‘ask for Henry’, in partnership with all 397 Morrisons cafés nationwide. Over 160,000 meals will be made available to the public from October 26, which will allow anyone who ‘asks for Henry’ at a Morrisons café during this time (and whilst stocks last) to receive a hot, hearty jacket potato topped with Heinz Beanz, for free.
The free meals are open to anyone, no questions asked, and Heinz hopes it will be of some help to families whose children are on half term – but also to anyone else who needs it. 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. This 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”.
So, Heinz is today honouring Henry’s legacy of kindness and goodwill by doing what he did best: helping to feed the nation when times are tough. If you need a free, warming meal in the coming weeks, simply ‘ask for Henry’ at your nearest Morrisons café from 26 October, and you will be given a free Heinz Beanz meal full of comfort, warmth and goodness.
