Have a vehicle and want to volunteer when it's convenient? Cabarrus County cancer patients need YOU

Save to Favorites

For some patients trying to battle cancer, one of the biggest treatment barriers is transportation - simply getting to their appointment. The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer and do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need. Volunteer drivers donate their time and resources to take patients to treatment and back home again. Drivers are needed during the day Monday - Friday.

Meet Carolyn, a Cancer Patient

"I had a stem cell transplant and had to go to the clinic on a daily basis for months. I had family and friends take me as much as possible but I also depended on Road to Recovery drivers. They were like guardian angels. They filled in the gaps and made things easier in an already tough situation."

Meet Mary, a Driver

"The satisfaction of providing a needed service is the main reason I decided to be a volunteer driver, but there are other reasons. No special skills or extensive training is required. I am inspired by the grace and fortitude with which many of the people I meet are dealing with the challenges of cancer."

With this opportunity you have the flexibility to volunteer when it is convenient for you! As rides are requested, as a volunteer driver you have the flexibility to schedule rides when you are available. To request more information e-mail carrie.klamut@cancer.org.
