The best cancer treatment in the world is no good if a patient can not access the care they need. No matter where you live in Ogemaw or Iosco counties your help driving cancer patients to and from treatment is needed!
Many patients don't have family that live nearby to assist, they may not feel well enough to drive themselves, or do not have a reliable vehicle. With limited public transportation patients are looking for someone to give them a ride!
This is an excellent volunteer opportunity which gives you, the volunteer, control over how frequently you drive, the distance, and even the days of the week. Rides are never assigned, the American Cancer Society makes volunteering possible on your schedule.
Would you consider 1day a month to be a friend and help get someone back and forth to cancer treatment? Please click, "I want to help"
Although COVID-19 has temporarily suspended our Road To Recovery program, we welcome new volunteers complete training. When we are able to safely resume services we anticipate an increase in ride requests. Your help will be need more than ever before!
Cancer doesn't quit and neither do we!!
