The Joy Bus Mission

2023 Life Achievement Gala
Saturday, November 11, 2023

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. 

Our mission is to improve the lives of our 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 us to help those who fight that same battle.

Each day we strive to relieve the daily struggles of people with cancer by delivering a fresh and healthy meal with a friendly face.
