Cancer Aid Transportation Grant

The Human Development Commission offers a new service for Huron County residents who need transportation to and from cancer treatment services.

To be eligible for Cancer Aid Transportation, individuals must be Huron County residents, age 18-59, and identify a need for ongoing support to transport them to treatment. Individuals who are in need of assistance may call the Human Development Commission at 1-800-843-6394, extension 1730. A voicemail message may be left and staff will return calls on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week to schedule door-to-door rides.

Funded by the Huron County Community Foundation, via the Tom Gettel Memorial Fund, the Human Development Commission was selected to coordinate this service and recruit the assistance of volunteer drivers. Organizers, Randy Elenbaum and Kevin Bucholz, of the Tom Gettel Memory Ride, and other members of the Memorial Fund have worked to raise funds so Huron County residents in need of non-emergency medical treatment for cancer have another option. This year’s Memory Ride will be conducted Saturday, July 8. Individuals wishing to donation to the event may contact Mackenzie Price at the Huron County Community Foundation.
