Support The Joy Bus on #GivingTuesday

You can impact the lives of people in your community.

The Joy Bus is a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to relieve the daily struggles of homebound cancer patients with a fresh and healthy meal delivered by a friendly face. Our healthful meals, delivered weekly, are made with fresh organic non-GMO produce and come in eco-friendly, chemical-free packaging. Tucked into each hand decorated bag is an informational sheet on the nutritional power of the ingredients used and how they will support their fight against cancer.

Your support of The Joy Bus Meal Delivery Program makes such a difference in our community. With your donation, we are able to help improve the quality of life of homebound cancer patients and aid in their healing process by delivering fresh, medically-tailored meals, social support, and nutrition education at no cost to our clients.

$20: 2 weeks of home visits for an individual dealing with cancer diagnosis and treatment.

$40: 4 wellness checks. It is a heartbreaking reality that many cancer patients have to face their diagnosis and treatment without the support of friends or family. The Joy Bus makes sure they are not alone.

$80: 8 fresh, delicious, healthful meals. Medically-tailored to aid in the healing process during cancer treatment.

$160: 16 opportunities to let a person who is dealing with some of the most difficult days of their life know that they are loved and cared for beyond measure.

With nearly 17,000 meals delivered as an organization and more than 90 cancer patients, caregivers, and family members receiving a home visit and meals each week, The Joy Bus is continuing to grow and expand with support the support of YOU, our beautiful community, and continuing partnerships with Banner Hospitals, Copper Hills Church and the City of Peoria, and UofA College of Medicine.

“Nutrition is both overlooked and undervalued in the bustle of life with cancer. Jennifer Caraway has inserted a level of care and compassion into our lives that impacts our health directly and provides a priceless gift of meaning. The work The Joy Bus does is as critical for our well being as the medicine we have received at The Mayo Clinic.”
