2025 Juice Box Challenge – Best in Show Winners

Bank of America’s Standout Juice Box Impact 

This year’s Best in Show winners didn’t just drop off juice boxes, they flew in with style and heart! Decked out in capes and masks, carrying a giant handmade sign, and rallying together with a heroic team chant, these Hunger Heroes from Bank of America turned their juice box drop-off into a full-on mission. 

Their creativity and team spirit are powerful reminders of what this challenge is all about: coming together with hearts full of hope and a shared belief that every child deserves access to free, nutritious lunches all summer long.🧃💪    

💡 Did you know?
Right now in Houston, an estimated 1 in 4 children is experiencing food insecurity. At Kids’ Meals, we’re working to change that—one lunch at a time. During the school year, we deliver free, healthy meals to preschool-aged children (0–5 years old), and in the summer, we expand our services to feed every child in the household. That means we’re serving more than 16,000 children every weekday this summer! 

The Juice Box Challenge helps us dramatically cut costs by covering the drink portion of each lunch, allowing us to stretch every dollar. All juice boxes donated are 100% juice with no added sugar, so we can keep lunches fun and kid-friendly while staying true to our commitment to nutrition.
