Asda is helping hard-pressed families during the pandemic by offering children the chance to eat for free in its cafes throughout December.
All 216 of the supermarket’s cafes are taking part and will provide children under the age of 16 with a meal free of any charge when accompanied by an adult. There are no minimum spend requirements or restrictions on the number of children in a family or group that can take advantage of the offer.
The free meals scheme is part of Asda’s Christmas kindness campaign, which aims to support local communities during the crisis.
Richard Dent, Asda’s Vice President for Fresh Food said: “We know that it’s been a really difficult year for families across the UK with many having to turn to food banks and local community groups for support which is why we want to support as many children as we can during the festive period by offering them a meal in one of our cafes.
“I’m really proud that through our Fight Hunger Create Change programme, we are able to continue to support our local communities, especially at this time of year.”
Earlier this month, Asda announced it would be providing an additional 1 million meals to support local food banks and charities over the festive period through its Fight Hunger Create Change partnership which supports both the Trussell Trust and FareShare.
