GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Corn dogs from Pronto Pups Grand Rapids were distributed free of charge Wednesday thanks to Consumers Energy.

Ice cream and soft drinks were also provided at Messiah Baptist Church.

The utility company hosted several events throughout West Michigan during the evening.

Consumers Energy says they are reaching out to community members in the wake of Tuesday morning’s severe storms, which left more than 155,000 people in the dark.

“We understand the frustration and, you know, come down and get some food and we will, you know, work as quickly as we can to get that restored,” says Steve Crider with the company’s Community Engagement department.

The company tells us the majority of people who lost power should have it back before midday Thursday.
