The American Cancer Society needs a Volunteer Driver

The American Cancer Society’s Road to Reovery program offers transportation for cancer patients to and from related treatment appointments. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their personal vehicle to provide rides.

Road to Recovery is offered to cancer patients who have no means of transportation and/or who are too ill to drive themselves.

Whether you have an hour a week or are available more often, The American Cancer Society can use your help.
