Meals With A Mission
H
flier's Markets has two new
dishes that will appear in the
prepared foods cases at all
seven Hiller's grocery stores, offering
shoppers good food for good causes.
One dish — corn and smoked
whitefish fritters — was created for
Lisa Diggs of the Buy Michigan Now
campaign, with all Michigan ingredi-
ents. The second dish — tuna pasta
salad — is the favorite personal recipe
of local fitness and philanthropy leader
Danialle Karmanos. These dishes will
be available at Hiller's through Nov. 15.
Good Deeds in the Making was cre-
ated by Hiller's Markets as a way to
inspire consumers to purchase high-
quality ready-to-eat meals while feel-
ing good about contributing to worthy
local causes.
All profits from sales of these
dishes go to local charities chosen
by the dish honorees; 100 percent
of profits from fritter sales will go
to Gleaners Community Food Bank
of Southeastern Michigan in Detroit
and 100 percent of profits from tuna
pasta sales will go to support DKWIO,
Danialle Karmanos Work It Out, an
effort to teach kids the importance of
lifelong fitness and nutrition.
"It gives me great pleasure to work
with inspiring individuals and worthy
organizations',' says Jim Hiller, CEO of
Hiller's Markets. "The true measure of
success is finding ways to give to others
and using one's business as a platform
to convey meaning and raise awareness.
I hope shoppers will make a special
effort to support these great people and
great causes:'

panying causes. After the following
