OUR
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy and service.
OUR ORGANIZATION
For nearly a century, the American Cancer Society has fought for every life threatened by every
cancer in every community. As one of the oldest and largest voluntary health agencies in the
world with a presence in more than 5,100 communities and more than 3 million volunteers
nationwide, the Society is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of everyone facing cancer and
their loved ones – when and where they need help. Overall, nearly 14 million cancer survivors
in America will celebrate a birthday this year thanks to the progress we’re making together.
HOW THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY SAVES LIVES
The American Cancer Society is working relentlessly to save lives from cancer by helping people
stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against the disease.
Volunteer Opportunities-
The American Cancer Society is at work in communities all across the country providing programs aimed at reducing the risk of cancer, detecting cancer as early as possible, ensuring proper treatment, and empowering people facing cancer to cope and maintain the highest possible quality of life.
Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your local community’s fight against cancer! Almost everyone has been touched by cancer in some way. This is your chance to make a difference! We work side by side our volunteers to help improve the quality of life for those living with cancer, raise funds for research, education and advocacy, and fight to find a cure!
We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, and are more than happy to assist you with finding the right fit for your talents! Resource center volunteers and drivers needed for Edmonds area especially.
