Road to Recovery
Every day thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there. If finding a ride is a problem for you, we may be able to help.

Our Road to Recovery program provides rides to and from treatment for people with cancer who 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.

If you need a ride to treatment, call 1-800-ACS-2345. We may be able to help by taking you to your treatment or putting you in touch with someone who can.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers can help with the Road to Recovery program by serving as volunteer drivers or coordinators.

  • Volunteer drivers donate their time and resources to take patients to treatment and back home again. They also provide encouragement and support. Drivers must have a valid driver’s license for the state where they live. They must also have a safe, reliable vehicle and proof of automobile insurance. Volunteer drivers must have a good driving history and be in good health.
  • Driver coordinators help schedule the rides. Coordinators can work whenever it’s convenient for them, one day a week, during the evening, or weekends. All it takes is as little as four hours a week of your time, organization, and communication skills to make a major impact on the well-being of cancer patients in your community.

To learn about volunteer opportunities in your area with the Road to Recovery program, call 1-800-ACS-2345.
