Opportunity:

Road to Recovery Drivers

Description

The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides free rides to treatment for cancer patients. Transportation barriers are the #1 reason for missed cancer appointments. For people with cancer who have no way of getting to and from treatment, our Road To Recovery® program is there to help. Driving patients to lifesaving treatment is one of the most meaningful volunteer experiences you can have with the American Cancer Society. We need volunteers so we can help more cancer patients. Unfortunately, we can’t provide rides to everyone who asks us to help them. You can change that.  Being a volunteer driver means you volunteer your time to drive people with cancer to treatment using your personal car.  

As a trained volunteer driver, you’ll join cancer patients on a crucial part of their journey to recovery, transporting them to and from their appointments in Berks County and ensuring their access to care isn’t prevented or delayed because of lack of transportation.  A few hours of your day could make a lifesaving difference!

To volunteer or learn more about the Road To Recovery program, give us a call at 800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org/drive.
