The Joy Bus Charity delivers chef-crafted meals to homebound cancer patients in Phoenix and the surrounding areas. The non-profit recently began construction on a new kitchen and an expanded Joy Bus Diner. The new facility will allow the organization to deliver up to five times more free meals to cancer patients.
Expanding to Serve More Patients
Opening this summer, the new facility will be almost three times larger than the current kitchen. The expanded Joy Bus Diner will be 100% non-profit, with all proceeds going to support The Joy Bus’ mission. It will also feature an expanded organic food pantry and a certified teaching kitchen.
Call for Donations and Diners
The Joy Bus is calling for donations and diners to support their cause. They need over $5 million to complete the construction. Every cent raised goes directly to bringing hot meals and caring smiles to cancer patients throughout Phoenix and the surrounding areas.
Inspiration Behind The Joy Bus
In 2011, founder and chef Jennifer Caraway created The Joy Bus to provide chef-inspired healthy meals for Phoenix cancer patients returning home. Caraway comforted her friend Joy, who had ovarian cancer, with delicious food. In 2016, Caraway opened The Joy Bus Diner to help fund the program and has since delivered thousands of meals to cancer patients.
Support The Joy Bus Charity
To support this worthy cause, you can donate, volunteer, or simply eat at the Joy Bus Diner anytime through July. Contact The Joy Bus at 602.264.2655 to make a difference and bring comfort to those who need it most.
Conclusion
The Joy Bus Charity spreads love and comfort by providing healthy and delicious meals to cancer patients. The new expanded facility will allow the organization to deliver more meals to those in need. However, they need our support to complete the construction and continue their mission. Let’s join hands and support The Joy Bus to spread love and comfort to cancer patients in Phoenix and the surrounding areas.
