Joy Bus Foundation brings meals to cancer patients

The Joy Bus Foundation helps provide chef-prepared meals for homebound cancer patients. The Foundation prepares and delivers the meals to the patients for free, as they primarily rely on donors and donations.

The Foundation launched the “Meals That Matter” program, with a goal of trying to raise $150,000 by December 31st. That large sum of money would provide 10,000 meals to those who need it most this holiday season.

The foundation was founded by Jennifer Caraway in honor of her friend, Joy, who battled cancer and was lucky enough to have help receiving nutritious meals. After Joy passed away, Jennifer realized there are many cancer patients who must look out for themselves during this difficult time.

In order to ease this burden, the Joy Bus Foundation provides healthy meals tailored to meet the patients’ needs, delivered by volunteers who are often cancer survivors themselves. The Joy Bus Foundation also has a diner where all profits go back to the foundation to provide more meals.

The Founder of the Joy Bus Foundation, Jennifer Caraway, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the foundation and the importance of giving to others.
