If you’re looking to fill some time in your day, enjoy driving and want to do something that helps people with cancer, the Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society encourages you to volunteer. As a volunteer driver, you give the gift of a ride and peace-of-mind to people with cancer who need help getting to and from their cancer care.

Gaining a sense of accomplishment, experiencing something new, or challenging new horizons are all reasons volunteering can be a rewarding experience. Most importantly--and aligned with our vision: a ride for all cancer patients to care--the impact you’ll have will play a large part in bettering the lives of those in need in your communities.
It has truly been a pleasure to help them during their difficult time. I have also met many of the other drivers and they are the finest people you could ever know. It is an honour to be part of this special group.
When I call patients to confirm that I have received their ride requests, they are so happy to hear from me and they said that they are very grateful for us dispatchers and drivers. Volunteering for VCDS is a very fulfilling job, always looking forward to talking to all the patients and our dedicated drivers.
I was extremely fortunate to have the best care possible when I went through my cancer treatment. As I took advantage of all the treatments and programs offered to patients, I definitely wanted to give back as much as I could to help others going through cancer.
Having many volunteer jobs in the community over the years, this one is the best I've ever had. The people I meet are wonderful.
I wanted to pay back, VCDS drivers can be very helpful when cancer patients go-to treatment for the first time and don't know where to go.
One of my goals as a VCDS driver is helping children's parents feel at ease knowing they can count on the VCDS for rides to the Cancer Clinic.
