The announcement cames as Marcus Rashford said he is ‘proud’ of community response to free school meals
The England striker told BBC Newsnight he was "overwhelmed" by the support offered by councils and businesses to help provide free school meals where they were not available.
The response by the community came after a bid by Labour to offer free meals to children was rejected by MP’s earlier this year.
In an effort to tackle this issue, the largest Muslim Youth Group in the UK has also stepped up to facilitate nationwide distribution of free school meals.
"This has been a tough year for people of all ages and backgrounds," said local youth leader Saeed Nazir.
"Whether it has been the sick and elderly who are unable to leave their homes or our valiant response teams like the NHS who are working tirelessly to support our country, we have been on a mission to ensure that such people are provided proper food and PPE through the help of our door to door delivery service.
