Help cancer patients in your community get to life-saving medical appointments.

Road To Recovery drivers donate their time and vehicle to help cancer patients with limited or no transportation get to treatments.

You choose the rides that work with your schedule. Rides are weekdays. We hope drivers provide 2 rides per month minimum; some help weekly if available.

Volunteer drivers are ages 18-84 and

  • a safe driving record,
  • a current license, reliable vehicle, and insurance,
  • and comfortable using technology.

COVID-19 safety protocols, including wearing masks while in the vehicle, are reviewed in training. Vaccinations are encouraged but not mandatory.

We would love your help!


To sign up: respond via Volunteer Match or visit the American Cancer Society's volunteercommunity.cancer.org, search by zip and/or Road To Recovery to learn more, sign up and to start training.
