The Heroes Ice Cream Pints lineup features three delicious flavors:
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.
Hearts for Heroes: Black raspberry ice cream with raspberry filled chocolaty hearts.

“The economic impact of the pandemic has led many to seek out food assistance programs as they work to provide for themselves and their families,” said Greater Cleveland Food Bank President & CEO, Kristin Warzocha. “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.”
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. To everyone helping to bring us through … we thank you.
