PHOENIX — The Joy Bus is a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to relieve the daily struggles of people with cancer by delivering a fresh and healthy meal with a friendly face.
Its mission is to improve the lives of its patrons through good food and company. Founded in 2011 by award-winning chef Jennifer Caraway, The Joy Bus was named in honor of her dear friend Joy. Joy struggled with the painful and debilitating side effects of ovarian cancer, to which she ultimately succumbed. Her grace, drive, and determination inspire The Joy Bus to help those who fight that same battle.
Many cancer patients are left to fend for themselves during this turning point in their lives. The Joy Bus eases that burden by providing healthy meals specified to meet its patrons’ needs, delivered by volunteers who are often cancer survivors themselves.
