"We manage HOAs, so giving back to the community is one of the biggest things we can do, and we love to do it. Our team really just wanted to help make a difference. We just love Kids’ Meals."
Kelley Wheeler, CMCA, AMS | Community Manager at Crest Management
With a record-breaking 55,180 juice boxes donated, Crest Management Company didn’t just win big, they showed up and spoke out in a huge way. Winning this year’s Large Team Champion, they also earned the title of Most Vocal for their enthusiastic and wide-reaching support!
Throughout the challenge, Crest didn’t miss a beat. They posted over 70 times across Facebook and LinkedIn—cheering on their team, tagging partners, and rallying the Houston community to join in. Their posts sparked curiosity, and people began reaching out, asking how they could be part of the Juice Box Challenge, too. Crest went above and beyond by encouraging every single company that visited their office to bring juice boxes with them. And then? They snapped a photo, tagged the company and Kids’ Meals, and proudly shared it online.
Last year, Crest donated a record-breaking number of juice boxes—over 30,000! This year, they nearly doubled that total, setting a new personal best and breaking the all-time Kids’ Meals record for the most juice boxes ever donated by a single team. They’ve officially raised the bar for what one team can do to help fight childhood hunger!
Through their juice box collections and creative outreach, Crest Management Company perfectly captured what the Juice Box Challenge is all about: rallying our communities to show up for Houston’s youngest generation!
💡 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.
