Volunteers Needed
More volunteer drivers needed
We appear to be the victims of our own success – calls on our service have reached a new high and we are busier than ever. Consequently, we need more volunteer drivers who live in and around Downtown Victoria, as well as one more permanent dispatcher. These volunteer positions are very rewarding, meeting and talking to new people , as well as knowing that you are really physically helping cancer patients on their difficult journey. Find out more – give us a call now on 778-265-0906.
Donations
Cancer DriveLine Society is run entirely by volunteers – there are no paid members of staff. We pay our volunteer drivers a contribution towards the cost of running their vehicles and there are costs for office rent, telephones etc, so donations from members of the public, businesses and clients are our lifeblood.
Donations can be made via PayPal or credit card by clicking the DONATE button on this page. We are happy to receive cheques mailed to our office, and our drivers carry donation envelopes with them should anyone wish to make a cash donation. You can also e-transfer your donation by emailing it to cancerdriveline@gmail.com.
The Cancer DriveLine Society is a registered charity and income tax receipts are issued at the end of each calendar year for all donations of $25 and over. If you have made a donation via PayPal, credit card or e-transfer, please send us your full name and mailing address to cancerdriveline@gmail so that we know where to send your income tax receipt.
Your donation will help alleviate stress and anxiety for cancer patients making their difficult journey coping with their illness. Our volunteers are there not only as drivers, but as moral support and companionship before and after treatments.
