Morrisons introduces service to feed self-isolating school kids
Morrisons has launched a new meal delivery service for schools that are feeding primary school children who are having to self-isolate.
The supermarket is working with schools to provide children who would normally be eligible for free-school meals with breakfast, lunch and snacks.
Developed in partnership with Morrisons company nutritionist, the Morrisons Kids Meal Pack includes enough cereal, milk, bread, fruit, yoghurts, sandwich fillings, pasta and squash for seven days. With a price of £12.50, the cost is covered by schools as part of the Government’s free school meals programme.
Schools are able to order the packs directly from the Morrisons doorstep delivery team. Orders are then picked and packed by local Morrisons stores and sent to children’s homes via its ‘doorstep delivery’ service.
Nicole Olive from the Morrisons Local Team said: “Each of our stores is close to its local community to listen hard and understand its needs – and schools were saying they had difficulty getting free school meals to isolating children. We can put affordable and nutritious food on the table during this difficult time.”
