MORRISONS – which has a store in Worth Way, Keighley – has upped the capacity of its meal delivery service for schoolchildren.
The supermarket giant is distributing meal boxes to youngsters eligible for free school meals, while schools are closed.
Each box contains enough food for a child to have five breakfasts and five lunches.
The boxes – which are delivered directly to each child’s home – cost £15, but that is covered by the school as part of the Government’s free school meals programme.
Rebecca Singleton, for Morrisons, said: “Since November, schools have been telling us they’ve had difficulty getting free school meals to children as many parents cannot get to a supermarket during the pandemic.
“Our school meals boxes will ensure that children are getting good-quality, nutritional food delivered directly to their door.”
The company has partnered with DPD to deliver the boxes.
Tens of thousands are now being distributed nationally every week.
