Did you know that there are people in our community who cannot get to the cancer treatments they need to possibly save their lives? Did you know that there is something that you can do about this problem? The American Cancer Society needs your support for its Road to Recovery program.
The Road to Recovery program provides volunteer transportation for cancer patients to and from their cancer treatments. The volunteers who drive for this program provide a crucial service to patients whose families and friends cannot drive them for every treatment
Drivers are an important part of a patient’s recovery, providing moral support and a sympathetic ear. Volunteers can be retirees, students, homemakers, or someone with some time to spare. The main requirements are the desire to help others and to meet people, and, of course, a car in good working condition.
We hope that people in our community with a morning or afternoon available every week or month will participate in this lifesaving program. A person can volunteer as often as he or she wishes.
A Volunteer Driver training is schedule for Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 1:00 p.m. at the Clearfield Unit American Cancer Society Office. For more information and to register please the local office at 814 765 1314 or 800.458.3856 x 3509 for more information about Road to Recovery.
