Parents of children who normally receive free school meals will receive vouchers to spend on essential groceries while schools remain closed.
The scheme will see eligible parents receive a one-off voucher to cover the three week period - equivalent in value to 15 free school meals.
The value of the vouchers will be £35.00 for each primary school child and £44.00 for each secondary school child.
The voucher can be used at any Shoprite store before it expires on 31 January 2021.
