American Cancer Society Seeks Volunteers to Help Patients Get to Cancer Treatment
Lack of transportation is one of the biggest challenges many cancer patients face, and the American Cancer Society needs more volunteers willing to help patients get to treatment.
Many patients need daily or weekly cancer care, and some patients don’t have a car or are too sick to drive. That’s where American Cancer Society volunteers come in. Our Road to Recovery program connects volunteer drivers with patients in need of a ride to treatment. Volunteers need to have a valid driver’s license, safe and reliable vehicle, proof of adequate automobile insurance, and should be willing to attend a brief training session. Volunteers can drive as often or as frequently as they’d like.
To find out more about Road to Recovery, or to learn about other volunteer opportunities in your area, call 1-800-227-2345. Our next training will be February 16th, 2010.
