Morrisons and Heinz are offering the help to anyone who needs it using a discreet phrase.
People just need to “ask for Henry” to get a warm meal, no questions asked.
The move comes as millions of people are struggling with rocketing energy bills and rising food prices in the cost of living crisis.
The ask for henry phrase comes from the name of the founder of the food brand, Henry J Heinz.
Jojo De Noronha, Heinz’s boss in Northern Europe, said they wanted to honour the founder by “helping feed people in times of need”.
She said: “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.”
There’s no eligibility for the free food – anyone can ask for it. But it will only be available until stocks last
The pair are giving away more than 160,000 meals at the supermarket’s nearly 400 store cafes.

You’ll need to “ask Henry” at the till point of the cafe, and there’s a limit of one meal per day.
You can find your nearest one on the Morrisons website using the store locator tool.
