Tesco has introduced a new way of helping families feed their kids this summer.
The supermarket has already introduced a new scheme shoppers are automatically involved in without realising.
In an email to shoppers, Tesco's CEO, Jason Tarry, announced they've launched a new campaign called Buy One to Help a Child, which aims to donate up to three million meals to help children living in food insecurity.
"Every time you buy a piece of fresh fruit or veg in one of our stores or online between 19 July and 8 August, we’ll donate to FareShare to provide meals for children who need them most," he said.

But now they have also announced a new offer in their cafes.
Tesco Café will be offering free meals for kids when an adult spends £3.50.
The deal will run for a limited time only, until Wednesday September 1.
The free offer for kids covers the Pick 'N' Mix meal deal, usually £2.75, which includes a sandwich, soft drink, piece of fruit and two snacks, or a kids’ hot meal.
The hot meal deal, usually £2.85, includes main course choices such as baked chicken goujons, Omega 3 fish fingers or 'hidden veg'Mac and Cheese, an additional veg option including veg sticks and beans, an extra side option including sweet potato fries, carrot and swede mash or garlic bread, and a soft drink of water, milk, kids milkshakes or juice.
There are also kids breakfast options available in the deal, including Little Eggs or Little Avocado, both on toast.
Jo Barnes, Head of Marketing and Food Development at Tesco Café, said: "The summer holidays are the perfect opportunity for some quality family time and a little treat.
"Families can enjoy a premium quality breakfast, lunch or dinner together whilst shopping at Tesco, all for great value as kids eat free when an adult spends just £3.50.
"We’ve worked really hard to ensure we’re offering balanced and healthy options for our little diners. We encourage well-balanced and healthier kids meal options by adding a vegetable side with every hot meal, a piece of fruit with every cold meal and ensuring all our kids snacks are under 100 calories.
"We strongly believe that eating out shouldn’t have to cost families a lot of money, especially in the expensive summer holidays, and we wanted to provide some unbeatable offers for families.
"We’re really looking forward to welcoming our customers into the Café this summer."
