No one needs to go hungry during half-term thanks to Morrisons supermarkets offering a hot and hearty meal for free in cafes across Nottinghamshire today (October 26). There's no catch - anyone in need of a filling meal can "ask for Henry" in the cafe and they will receive a jacket potato with Heinz Beanz free of charge from October 26.
The Heinz Beanz meal will be available in all Morrisons cafes across Nottinghamshire while stocks last. The free meals will run over half term, offering much needed help to parents with their children off school and others in need during the cost of living crisis.
Inspired by the charitable work of Heinz founder and philanthropist Henry J Heinz, the initiative means over 160,000 jacket potato and beans meals will be made available to the public across the 397 Morrisons cafes nationwide.

From a young age, Henry would make food with his mother in their family kitchen, using ingredients picked from their garden, to share with the local community. This young boy then went from good to great, founding Heinz and becoming one of the biggest benefactors of his time. He was often quoted as saying “give all you can wisely”.
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.”
