Freewheels accepts bike donations on Friday and Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon  at our shop at 6020 Jessamine #103, Houston, TX 77081. If you have a question, please email us at info@freewheelshouston.org.

Our refugee and veteran customers rarely ask for road bikes or beach cruisers. We do not accept used helmets, children’s bikes, scooters or tag-alongs. If it’s not economic for Freewheels to repair a donated used bike, we often reclaim parts and components that can be used on other bikes. We have partnerships with people who will take bikes we don’t plan to repair and deliver them to organizations in Mexico.

When we receive a road bike, we may try to sell it and and use the proceeds to pay for parts, supplies, safety equipment and rent. 

Join us for an engaging evening of In-Person Mock Interviews with WorkTexas! This is a unique opportunity to support individuals preparing for careers in skilled trades such as welding, HVAC, and masonry by providing them with valuable interview experience and feedback.

This year, THEA is honored to be celebrating our 10th anniversary. To mark this milestone, we are hosting a fundraising event with about 60 of our key supporters - individuals who have been historically vital in advancing our mission through donations. The event will take place at 108 Main St. in Downtown Houston on October 15th, 2025, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm and will include small bites, drinks and a silent auction. 

We would really appreciate the help of a few volunteers in making this event a success. We are looking for a few people to help with setup, tear down, keeping the venue tidy throughout the evening, restocking cups, napkins, plates, etc., and assisting in the overall flow of things. Setup starts are 5pm and we have to be packed up and out of the venue by 9:30pm. 

The event is downtown. So, if you do volunteer, I can share a parking map with you.

Join us on Saturday, October 11th, for a volunteer day in the community family garden. We’ll be tending beds, planting our fall crop, and enjoying early fall together. Your help would mean a lot
