Volunteer opportunity

A volunteer opportunity from the American Cancer Society 

During this season of kindness and giving, have you resolved to do more to help others? How about helping a person or caregiver in coping with a cancer diagnosis? The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers to work with patients. Some programs require special skills (licensed cosmetologist or aesthetician) or specific experiences (surviving cancer), but we currently seek help with these two programs and all you need is a caring heart. 

            Road to Recovery volunteers provide transportation for cancer patients to treatment. We’re seeking to increase our team of volunteer drivers. This is a very rewarding way of helping another person along the healing journey. Volunteers must be available weekdays and willing to drive patients in their own vehicle.

            Resource Center volunteers assist patients, caregivers, or others find answers to their questions about cancer diagnosis, treatment, and community resources. Volunteers must be available for a weekday shift at the SECU Mission Hospital Cancer Center. 

            For more information on finding fulfillment through volunteering, please call the American Cancer Society at 828-254-6931 or 1-800-227-2345.
