As well as a month of free deliveries, stores across the country will be providing education and information to the wider public throughout the month to help increase understanding and acceptance of autism.
To avail of free online delivery for the month of April, members of the autism community can log on to SuperValu.ie for further information.
Speaking on the announcement, SuperValu Marketing Director, Ray Kelly said:

“Our free online delivery initiative in 101 stores nationwide, is unique in that it offers convenience when sometimes getting out of the house and into a store can be difficult for many.”
