CLEVELAND — Pierre’s Ice Cream is honoring local heroes in a sweet way.
The Cleveland-based company has created a special line of themed ice cream pints in recognition of heroes, which they are defining as “everyone who has adapted, struggled, sacrificed and persevered during this challenging time.”
In other words, we’re all heroes in a way.
One dollar from the purchase of each pint, $4.99, will benefit local food banks.
“Food banks everywhere are working tirelessly to meet this increased demand. Pierre’s Heroes Pints are a fun way to not only salute our heroes but to raise funds for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and provide for our neighbors in need,” said Greater Cleveland Food Bank President & CEO, Kristin Warzocha.
Heroes pints come in three flavors:
- Hearts for Heroes: Black raspberry ice cream with raspberry filled chocolaty hearts.
- Super Stars: Vanilla ice cream with peanut butter filled chocolaty stars and peanut butter swirl.
- Virtual Hugs: Caramel ice cream with sea salt caramel truffles.
They will be available at area grocery stores including Apples, Buehler’s, Dave’s Markets, Discount Drug Mart, D’Onofrio’s Food Center, Family Foods, Giant Eagle – Northeast Ohio, Heinen’s – Ohio/Illinois, IGA on Sentinel Square, Oberlin IGA, Rego’s Strongsville, Sanders Market, Sapell’s Bi-Rite, Schild’s IGA and Zagara’s Marketplace.
