Baked bean and condiment brand, Heinz and UK supermarket chain, Morrisons has unveiled a new measure aimed at helping those struggling amid the cost of living crisis.
From today (Wednesday, October 26), the two will allow those in need to 'ask for Henry' in any Morrison's cafe to be given a free Heinz Beanz meal.
The measure will allow any person, young or old, to get one free jacket potato with beans meal per day.
In a tweet, Heinz said: "If you need a helping hand this half term, from 26th October you can simply ‘ask for Henry’ at your nearest @Morrisons café, and you will be given a free Heinz Beanz meal.
"1 meal per person per day, old or young, no questions asked, until stocks last."

Many took to Twitter to praise the move by the two companies with one user tweeting: "This is SO legendary @HeinzUK AWESOME work! Other companies need to TAKE THE HINT!! Cannot praise you high enough for this."
Another said: "Best tweet of the day" while another added: "Shouldn't be necessary but thank you."
Others suggested that it was 'ridiculous' that people had to rely on such a scheme while MPs received subsidised meals.
The 'ask for Henry' scheme will last "until stocks last" according to Heinz.
Your Money Matters
Your Money Matters is a campaign launched by us and our sister titles across Newsquest to help you overcome the surge in the cost of living.
This year has seen a whole host of household price increases — from the energy price cap rise to surging inflation and food prices — costing your family hundreds or even thousands of pounds extra per year.
We’re making it our mission to look out for your cash, offering money-saving deals, competitions, giveaways and insightful stories from your community on the impact this cost-of-living crisis is having on our readers.
The worldwide energy crisis exacerbated by the Ukraine invasion, the financial impact of the Covid pandemic, record inflation figures and a surge in the cost of goods, fuel and travel means we will all feel the pinch.
Through our newspaper, we want to do what we can to help make your cash go further because we know your money matters.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
