Volunteer: Men, help support and empower other male caregivers!

Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women, meaning lots of men are caring for their wives and sons for their mothers. People age 65 and older survive an average of four to eight years after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, yet some live as long as 20 years.

Make a difference! We provide all the materials for those interested in educating in the community. In addition, we're seeking someone to train and pair with an experienced facilitator for a men's caregiver support group that will start meeting in The Woodlands.

Interested? Complete the Alzheimer's Association Volunteer Interest Survey at bit.ly/alz-vol-interest today!

Volunteer: Donate your used bike

The bike you are not riding holds the key to freedom for a refugee, veteran or young person who needs a way to work or school. Donate your bike to Freewheels and our volunteers will clean and repair it and provide a way for people to get to work or school.

Our greatest need is for adult mountain bikes and hybrids with 26-inch and 700c wheels. We also need youth bikes with 24-inch wheels and 20-inch wheels.

Read more: One bike donor's story

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.

Volunteer: Host Red Sand Project to Raise Trafficking Awareness

Human trafficking occurs every day in our own communities. This crime continues to grow in the shadows of our society, and is one of the largest criminal industries in the world.

Victims of trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of sexual exploitation and/or forced labor.

Participants in Red Sand Projects fill cracks in sidewalks with red sand, a symbolic gesture that represents those individuals who fall through the cracks -- whether the cracks of our social, economic, and political systems or those of our personal consciousness.

We at UAHT want to highlight and remember the human trafficking victims who fall through those cracks in the greater Houston area, the very ones we make an effort each day to reach and help.

Our Red Sand Projects are meant to be volunteer-led and community-wide events, so if you'd like to host a project of your own -- whether it's in your neighborhood, your favorite park, your church, or an other public setting you'd like -- we strongly encourage you to do so!

Host a project with your friends and family or a school, community or social group!

Will you join us and host your own project?

We'll provide the red sand and flyers to hand out to passerby! (And if you want additional volunteer help with your project, we'll make every effort to provide it!)

Agency: United Against Human Trafficking

Engaging in art offers a creative process to explore emotions, gain personal insight, and even achieve healing in ways not always possible otherwise, and because of this, we at UAHT are over-the-moon thrilled to offer a series of art classes to the trafficking overcomers!

The six-course, bi-weekly program -- called "The Art of Life" -- will cover a range of artistic expressions -- from collages to intuitive art to self-portraits -- and we are in need of supplies to ensure our participants have all the tools they need to let their creativity flow freely.

Will you help provide materials for this first art class (and others that will follow) with a donation?

ART SUPPLY LIST: Magazines (with a Wide Range of Photos), Newspapers with Color Photos, Non-Personal Photos or Images, Swatches or Small Cuts of Fabric, Glue (Stick and Liquid), Scissors, Colored Paper, Sketch Paper, White Paper, Thick Watercolor Paper, Stencils, Canvases, Paint Brushes, Palettes, Multi-Colored Drawing Pencils Crayons, Sketching Pencils, Multi-Colored Markers, Straight Rulers, Circular Rulers, Watercolor Paint, Oil-Based Paint, Acrylic Paint
