Nonprofit
GA: Fulton County - Drive cancer patients to and from treatment
Details
Description
Make a meaningful difference on your schedule by driving cancer patients who need rides to lifesaving treatment.
As a Road To Recovery volunteer driver with the American Cancer Society, you’ll use your personal vehicle to provide free rides for cancer patients who face transportation challenges.
Most rides are Monday–Friday during the day. Volunteers are encouraged to provide the roundtrip, but rides are posted as one-way segments. If you’re able to drive both legs, the time between is yours (run errands, grab coffee, read, or wait in a main lobby).
Volunteer drivers must:
- Be age 18–84
- Have a valid driver’s license and safe driving record
- Use a reliable, insured vehicle
- Pass background and motor vehicle records checks
- Complete online training and use our online ride scheduling tool
We have more ride requests than we have volunteers and would love your help. The best treatment won't work if a patient can't get there.

The pick-up and drop-off addresses for each one-way ride are shown in the ride scheduling tool for drivers.
