The American Cancer Society is offering licensed drivers the opportunity to fight cancer from behind the wheel.
The Road to Recovery program seeks volunteer drivers to provide transportation for cancer patients. Volunteers will be asked to drive cancer patients to and from lifesaving cancer treatments.
Volunteers are essential to improving quality of life for cancer patients and their families. The local chapter of the Knights of Pythias recently made a donation of $500 to the American Cancer Society specifically to support the Road to Recovery program.
Anyone who can spare a few hours can make a difference in someone’s life. All that’s required is picking up a patient at his or her home and driving them to and from a treatment facility.
Volunteer drivers for the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program are needed throughout the state, but especially in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Volunteers will be trained and insured by the American Cancer Society.
For more information about the Road to Recovery program, or to become a volunteer driver, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345.
