Dine Out for Joy
Restaurants across the Valley are partnering up with The Joy Bus to provide medically tailored meals to homebound cancer patients. From August 25 to 30, local restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to The Joy Bus to help the nonprofit continue to garner resources to provide cancer patients with fresh, nourishing meals.
By patronizing participating restaurants between August 25 and August 30, customers will directly contribute to The Joy Bus’s mission to diminish the daily struggles of cancer patients. Niccoli’s Italian Grocery-Deli in Phoenix and Sexy Roman in Scottsdale will be contributing to the week’s charitable and delicious project. With a growing list of participating local restaurants, Valley residents are encouraged to dine in for a good cause.
