ANCHORAGE - Each day Toyota picks five charities from around the country to compete for a new truck through a program called "100 Cars for Good."

Thursday the Children's Lunchbox – a Bean's Café program – was one of those in the running.

During the summer the program serves up to 700 meals a day.

The program director says the goal is to make sure no kids are going hungry. The program expanded during winter to include Wasilla as well.

In addition to making meals for the Mat-Su, staff members also drive hundreds of meals every day to different children's programs.

Children's Lunchbox was the winner of the competition.
