The Foundation has now provided $5.4 million in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic since March.
âConsumers Energy is committed to being part of the solution as Michiganders work toward brighter days ahead this year,â Consumers Energyâs president and CEO Garrick Rochow said in a statement. âThese are extraordinary times, and we are humbled to play a part in supporting organizations that are doing so much for our communities.â
The Consumers Energy Foundation grants support those working on the front lines to directly meet basic needs such as food and shelter. They include $200,000 for the Food Bank Council of Michigan to address food insecurity, including mobile food distributions across the state.
