On a typical day, Kids’ Meals makes and delivers over 9,000 lunches to preschool-aged children (ages 5 and under) who do not have access to free school-based meal programs. In the summer, that number almost doubles as we not only feed preschool-aged children but ALL school-aged siblings in the home. This summer, we need your help to deliver over 900,000 free, healthy meals to the doorsteps of Houston’s hungriest children between April 1 – June 30.
That means we need 900,000 sandwiches, 900,000 bags, 900,000 fruit items, 900,000 healthy snacks and 900,000 drinks. Each summer, teams of wonderful people just like you compete to collect the most juice boxes (100% juice).
Ready to compete? Follow these simple steps:
Everyone is a winner when they come together to fight against childhood hunger, but there can be only ONE Juice Box Champion receiving the coveted Kids’ Meals Summer Juice Box Challenge Champion Trophy. The awards you are competing for are:
Juice Box Champion (Large Company): The Large Company team that collects the most juice boxes by the June 30th deadline will win the official Kids’ Meals Summer Juice Box Challenge Champion Trophy! Receive bragging rights and get featured on our socials and in our newsletter.
Juice Box Champion (Small Team/Individuals): The Small Team or Individual that collects the most juice boxes by the June 30th deadline will win the official Kids’ Meals Summer Juice Box Challenge Champion Trophy! Receive bragging rights and get featured on our socials and in our newsletter.
Best in Show: The group that makes the best presentation upon delivery (costumes, music, posters, etc…) will be featured in our socials and on our newsletter!
Most Vocal: The team with the most number of feed posts using the hashtag #JBC25 throughout the competition will be featured in our socials and on our newsletter! Make sure to tag us and state your team name in the caption so we can keep track of your contributions and give you the recognition you deserve.
The Juice Box Champion trophy is generously sponsored by Crown Trophy Houston.
We require that all juice boxes are 100% juice, in an effort to provide nutritious meals. No Kool-Aid, Capri Sun, or juice pouches.
Absolutely! We have teams that start and stop their competition at all sorts of times during the April 1 – June 30 timeline.
Yes! If you would like to set this up, email our YouGiveGoods representative Michelle at michelle.seideneck@yougivegoods.com – Make sure to let Michelle know you would like to do this at the beginning as YouGiveGoods sends us juice boxes throughout the competition rather than sending them all at the end.
Kids’ Meals is happy to pick up juice box donations that are more than 2,000 boxes. We do have a few requirements as our staff and truck availability is limited.
