Crest Management Crowned 2025 Juice Box Challenge Winner After Shattering Donation Goal
Crest Management has done it again. The Houston-based community management firm has officially been named the 2025 Kids’ Meals, Inc. Juice Box Challenge Champion, marking its fourth overall win, second consecutive victory, and perhaps most impressively—its most ambitious yet.
What started nine years ago as a small effort to support food-insecure preschoolers has become a summer mission that rallies entire neighborhoods across Harris and Montgomery Counties. This year, Crest Management aimed to collect 35,000 juice boxes. By June 30, they had surpassed that goal by more than 20,000, collecting an astounding 55,180 juice boxes—each one destined to complete a nutritious lunch for a child in need.
“This marks our 6th year competing, 4th win, and 2nd consecutive victory,” the company announced proudly in a social media post following the final tally. “Congratulations to the true champions, the children who will benefit from these juice boxes as part of their packed lunches, ensuring no child goes hungry.”
Williamsburg Colony Residents Were Part of Something Bigger
The momentum behind the donation drive came from a deeply rooted cause: helping Kids’ Meals Houston meet the heightened summer demand when free school lunch programs are unavailable. Every 100% juice box donated helps complete a lunch that may be the only meal a child receives that day.
This year’s team effort spanned 67 business partners (including My Neighborhood News), 19 HOA board members and associations, 31 Crest team members, and 117 total donors—from neighbors and homeowners to local business owners and volunteers.

Pam Hummel, a Crest Management community manager and longtime organizer of the drive, said earlier in the campaign, “We’ve seen firsthand how generous our communities can be—and how big an impact these small juice boxes can have.” She added, “These juice boxes are more than just a drink—they complete a meal that may be the only one a child receives that day.”
Kids’ Meals Houston, the nonprofit at the center of this initiative, serves over 9,000 meals per day, across 56 Greater Houston zip codes, and that number nearly doubles in the summer to include older siblings who are home from school.
In total, more than 250,000 juice boxes were donated across Greater Houston through the 2025 challenge—demonstrating just how powerful grassroots, community-centered giving can be.
Looking Ahead: The 2026 Challenge Is Already on the Horizon
Crest Management isn’t slowing down. In their announcement, the organization encouraged supporters to “keep an eye out for April or May 2026, when we break records for an amazing cause all over again!”
For residents of Williamsburg Colony and other Crest-managed communities, this year’s win is more than a trophy—it’s a reflection of what’s possible when neighborhoods unite around a shared purpose.

The Crest team closed its message with a heartfelt thank-you to every homeowner, volunteer, business partner, and employee who helped make the campaign a success. “A HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to every Business Partner, Homeowner, Community, and Employee who contributed to this amazing cause!”
