    Texas (Multiple Cities – See Description): Drive Cancer Patients to Treatment Appointments

    Volunteer opportunities available in multiple cities across Texas, including Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Lubbock & Corpus Christi. Learn more at cancer.org/drive.

    Help cancer patients get to life-saving 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 have no other way to get to their appointments.

    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
