Volunteer drivers needed
Organization: Canadian Cancer SocietyCategory: Health / Medical
Description: Imagine being told you have cancer, and that you need to travel each day to receive life-saving treatment but you have no way to get there. That’s where the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope comes in – a program that offers a ride for people with cancer who need help getting to and from their treatment appointments. We need volunteer drivers in Saskatoon. The program operates Monday to Friday during the day. A mileage reimbursement is offered. If you have a weekday to spare or even just a few days per month, please consider signing up for Wheels of Hope! The decision to volunteer was simple – my wife and I have enjoyed a nice life in this community and want to pay it back through volunteering. As a volunteer driver for Wheels of Hope, I have something rewarding that keeps me busy and lets me meet so many nice people. – Volunteer driver Glen B.
