Volunteers Needed to Drive Cancer Patients To and From Treatments

The American Cancer Society-sponsored Road to Recovery program provides transportation for cancer patients to and from their cancer-related appointments. The program needs volunteers from all areas of the county.
Hours can vary but the average driver volunteers for about four hours a week, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Volunteers can drive as often as they wish, once a month, or several times a month, as they are available. Dispatchers, who can volunteer from their homes, are also needed to coordinate rides for patients.
Volunteers are asked to fill out an application, and submit a copy of their driving record and proof of insurance in order for them to be covered by an ACS insurance policy secondary to volunteer’s insurance. For more information or to volunteer, please call the American Cancer Society at (800) ACS-2345, or visit the website at www.cancer.org.
