FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE | 77 JENNIFER CARAWAY started The Joy Bus in 2011, inspired by her friend Joy, who had ovarian cancer. What began as meals for one person has grown to reach hundreds of cancer patients across the Valley, thanks to Caraway’s determination and strong community support. Joy Bus volunteers deliver food, flowers and conversation to cancer patients at their homes weekly. “It’s more than a meal,” Caraway said. “The companionship component is a big part of our mission, and it’s the volunteers who make it happen.” As The Joy Bus meal delivery program outgrew Caraway’s KITCHEN DOORS The Joy Bus Rolls On One woman’s mission proves food is medicine — and love is the secret ingredient Photos courtesy of The Joy Bus Jennifer Caraway is the founder, chair, president and CEO of The Joy Bus.
