The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that heroism manifests in many ways, in those who place their own lives at risk for others, to everyday family, friends, neighbors and strangers selflessly looking out for each other.

Inspired by this, Pierre’s Ice Cream Company created a special line of ice cream pints in recognition of all heroes – everyone who has adapted, struggled, sacrificed and persevered during this challenging time – and to raise money for local food banks!

Our new Heroes Ice Cream Pints will feature three delicious 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.

Pierre’s Ice Cream Company will donate $1 of every pint purchased to local food programs and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.

The three new pint-sized flavors will retail for approximately $4.99 and are making their way to the following stores: 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.

Simple pleasures and acts of kindness are now more meaningful than ever. Ice cream has always had a way of lifting spirits. We hope these flavors not only offer a way to share smiles, but help support the heroes at our local food banks in the work they do to assist our neighbors in need.

To everyone helping to bring us through … we thank you.
