The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program gives cancer patients free transportation for cancer-related medical appointments. 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 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. Connect with us to learn more about Road to Recovery volunteer opportunities in your area by going to cancer.org/drive or calling 800-227-2345.

Personal vehicle and valid driver's license required.
