A Ride to Care For Cancer Patients
The Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society is a not-for-profit organization providing complimentary transportation for Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley residents battling cancer.
When you are in need of transportation to care we are here to support you with safe, timely and efficient service. We are a registered charity and work to raise the funds necessary to meet expenses associated with meeting cancer patient needs.
Our team of volunteer drivers and dispatchers offers peace of mind for patients who may not have the means to drive to and from essential cancer treatments and cancer related medical appointments. The physical, emotional and financial burden is lifted knowing our friendly volunteers are only a call away.
Patient stories touch the lives of many, and in our quest to improve and expand awareness of the service we provide, your story can make a difference. Please take a moment to share your Volunteer Cancer Drivers experience with us.
