"Help Just a Little Bit" Elaine Crane, 82, and husband Ralph Crane, 87, have been volunteering for two decades feeding the hungry in flint. They pick up excess food from an area supermarket that has short shelf dates and make an 18-mile trip through Flint delivering it to various charities. 'A lot of people say, 'Oh those lazy bums can't help themselves.' They don't realize, especially right now, things are getting worse., it looks to me like, anyway. Do you get the idea we enjoy what we do when we can help just a little bit? Ralph's had a stroke and I've had just about everything taken out of me that you can have taken out, but it's not stopping us. If more people would do just a little bit of something, we'd be so much better off.'
