20,000 MEALS

Mark September 28th a day to remember as #TheJoyBusDay!

On Wednesday, September 28, 2022, we were so fortunate to have Mayor Kate Gallego join us in delivering our 20,000th meal as an organization.

Mayor Gallego delivered this momentous meal alongside The Joy Bus Founder and Executive Director, Jennifer Caraway, at the home of our beloved clients, Kim and Kathy. And to top of this beautiful moment, Mayor Gallego then joined us at The Joy Bus Diner to officially proclaim September 28th as The Joy Bus Day, stating:

"The entire city wants to say thank you to The Joy Bus. You have stepped up to help patients fight cancer, even during COVID. Today is The Joy Bus Day in the

City of Phoenix."

All of us at The Joy Bus want to give our sincere thanks to Mayor Kate Gallego and her team and to each and every soul who has helped us to this point. Every single gift of your time, monetary donation, community connection, social media like or share, hug, smile, or good vibe has truly meant the world to us and we could never say

thank you enough.

Now, we look forward to the future and the development of a new facility built to our specific needs with dramatically expanded kitchen, pantry, and dining capacity. To accomplish this, we have launched The Joy Bus More Than A Meal Capital Campaign with the support of a strong cabinet of community leaders chaired by Peter and Rebecca Ailes-Fine and Derrick and Amy Hall. You can find out more about this project on our website or make your gift today on our Capital Campaign Giving Page.

And we hope that you will be able to join us for a Life Achievement Celebration honoring Peter Fine, President of Banner Health as we raise much needed funds for our Capital Campaign. It will be a beautiful night at the Wrigley Mansion with a cocktail reception, tasting stations, beautiful live music, excellent company and a live auction! More information and tickets are available here.

Thank you so much for your support!
