    What You’ll Do:
    • Transport guests between Hope Lodge and nearby treatment centers
    • Drive a Hope Lodge-owned vehicle-no personal car required
    • Volunteer shifts available Monday-Friday, 4-8 PM
    Requirements:

    • Willingness to wear a mask if asked (to protect immunocompromised guests)
    • If a cancer survivor, must be one year post-treatment
    Why It Matters:
