REMINDER: Crest Management Communities Invited to Support 2026 Kids’ Meals Juicebox Challenge Before June 30 Deadline
Residents in Crest Management neighborhoods across Greater Houston are encouraged to donate 100% juice boxes during the 2026 Kids’ Meals, Inc. Juicebox Challenge, helping support summer meal deliveries for children facing food insecurity.
As summer approaches across Greater Houston, residents in Crest Management communities have another opportunity to support local children through the 2026 Kids’ Meals, Inc. Juicebox Challenge, running now through June 30.
The annual initiative helps Kids’ Meals, Inc. provide healthy meals to preschool-aged children living in food-insecure households throughout the Houston area, particularly during the summer months when school-based meal programs are unavailable.
For neighborhoods managed by Crest Management, the campaign has become a familiar community effort centered around a simple but meaningful donation: 100% juice boxes.
This year, Crest Management has set a goal of collecting 65,000 juice boxes to support Kids’ Meals, Inc., a Houston-based nonprofit that delivers free meals directly to children in need.
Supporting Houston Children During the Summer Months
Kids’ Meals, Inc. prepares and delivers more than 12,000 lunches each weekday to preschool-aged children who do not have access to free school meal programs. During the summer, that number increases significantly as school-aged siblings staying home for summer break are also served.
In total, the nonprofit distributes more than 20,000 healthy meals each weekday throughout the summer months, resulting in more than 1 million meals delivered over the course of the season.
Each meal includes a sandwich, snack, and a 100% juice beverage, making juice box donations an important part of the organization’s meal program.
The annual Juicebox Challenge, held from April 1 through June 30, helps meet the increased summer demand by encouraging businesses, organizations, schools, and communities across Greater Houston to contribute juice boxes for meal deliveries.
Ways Residents Can Contribute
Organize a Neighborhood Collection Effort
Residents and HOA leaders may consider organizing local collection efforts within their communities by setting up clubhouse drop-off locations, coordinating with neighborhood volunteers, or arranging group pickup coordination efforts to make donating more convenient for residents.
Drop Off Donations at Crest Management
Residents may deliver their donations directly to the Crest Management office, located at 17171 Park Row, Suite 310, Houston, Texas 77084, during regular business hours:
- Monday through Thursday: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Closed from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.)
Donate Online
Residents who prefer to contribute financially instead of purchasing juice boxes in person may donate online through the official campaign page at justgiving.com/campaign/crestmanagementcompanyaamc-juicebox.
Where Residents Can Purchase Juice Boxes
Residents looking to donate can often find bulk juice box packages at warehouse retailers and grocery stores throughout Greater Houston, including:
- Costco Wholesale
- Sam's Club
- Walmart
- Target
- HEB
- Kroger
Warehouse retailers such as Costco and Sam’s Club may offer especially convenient multi-pack options for families, neighborhood groups, and community organizations participating in the challenge. Note that only 100% juice boxes are accepted in order to meet Kids’ Meals nutritional requirements.
Building on Years of Community Participation
Now participating in the Juicebox Challenge for the sixth consecutive year, Crest Management has become one of the region’s strongest contributors to the initiative. The organization has earned four championship titles in previous years and surpassed its 2025 collection goal by donating more than 55,000 juice boxes.
As the 2026 campaign enters the final stretch, residents across Crest-managed neighborhoods still have time to participate before the June 30 donation deadline.
At a time when many families are feeling the strain of back-to-school expenses, the initiative provides a tangible way for communities to make a difference.
