Driven to fight cancer
The Canadian Cancer Society is looking for volunteer drivers and dispatchers for our volunteer driver program in Surrey.
Cancer treatment often requires a patient to travel from their home to a treatment centre on a daily or weekly basis.
The appointments can be lengthy, scheduled at different times and are usually during normal business hours.
This can pose a problem for a family where other members are working or carrying a greater load to ease the burden on the family member with cancer.
In this situation, the volunteer driver program can step in and make a tremendous contribution to the well-being of an entire family.
The Canadian Cancer Society volunteer driver program in Surrey needs drivers to take patients to and from their treatments in the Fraser Valley/Greater Vancouver and dispatchers to coordinate the trips.
Full training and support services are provided.
Time commitments are flexible with the program running Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m..
