Needs From: Volunteer Houston

Help newly arrived refugees in Houston gain the skills they need to get around the city independently. 

As a Bus Buddy, you’ll ride alongside refugee students as they travel to important destinations like English classes, job training programs, or healthcare appointments. You’ll teach them how to: 

Read and understand METRO bus maps and schedules 

Use the Transit app to plan and track their route 

Purchase and use bus passes with ease 

For many refugees, learning how to use public transportation is a vital step toward rebuilding their lives. Your support can open the door to opportunities, connections, and independence. 

No experience needed—just a friendly attitude and a love for helping others. 
We’ll provide training and support to get you started. 

Support our social adjustment services department by calling students to help them enroll in benefits, health services, and other needs. Help as many refugees as possible have access to resources that are valuable for their day-to-day lives. 

Help refugees take the first step toward U.S. citizenship by joining our team as a Civics Outreach Volunteer. 

In this role, you’ll make phone calls to clients to share information about our free civics classes, which help prepare adults for the citizenship exam. Your calls help ensure more people can access the resources they need to succeed. 

As a volunteer, you will: 

You don’t need to speak another language or have prior experience—just a welcoming attitude and a desire to support others on their citizenship journey. If you do speak a language like Spanish, Dari, Pashto, Arabic, or Urdu, that’s a wonderful bonus!

Volunteer shifts available Monday through Friday, between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Training and scripts are provided. 

As a conference volunteer, you’ll play a key role in creating a seamless and memorable experience for our attendees. Tasks may include:

A Work Day at Chain Reaction is a hands-on volunteer session where we repair and prep donated bicycles for people in our community.

We start by setting out tools, materials, and bikes, then jump into quick cleaning and minor repairs to get as many bikes rolling as possible. As the day goes on, volunteers can help with more in-depth repairs that take a little extra time. Once bikes are finished, they’re cleaned, stickered, tagged, and staged for later distribution.

We wrap up with a quick cleanup and head home knowing we made a real impact!

This Work Day:
Saturday, February 28
1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Plan for about 3–4 hours from start to finish.

No experience required — just a willingness to help!

By helping clean, repair, and assemble oyster restoration materials, you support the successful reuse of equipment that helps oysters grow and improves water quality in Galveston Bay.

Work with others to prepare used bikes that will become transportation enabling refugees, high school students and veterans emerging from homelessness to get to work, school and other destinations.

If you don’t know bike repair, we will put you to work cleaning bikes, fixing flats and helping with other tasks around the shop. Each time you attend, you will learn more about bikes.

Your work will have an immediate payoff as people come to the shop to get a bike. 

Before your first shift, please complete our waiver: https://freewheelshouston.org/volunteer-consent/.

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.

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

Our refugee and veteran customers rarely ask for road bikes or beach cruisers. We do not accept used helmets, small 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.

 This is an excellent event for families!

We are a foster based Houston area shelter rescue and in dire need of foster homes. We have many puppies and dogs, kittens and cats on a waiting list to get out of the shelter. We do not have a shelter and depend on individuals to provide a foster home to help us save them from the shelter. Once we have a committed foster home, we can save a puppy/dog or kitten/cat from the shelter. To foster you will need to care for the pet in your home and bring to adoptions on some weekends at one of our adoption locations until adopted.

Cornerstone Family Resource Center (CFRC) is seeking community groups, businesses, churches, schools, and individuals to host a toiletry and cleaning supply drive to support low-income families living at Premier on Woodfair Apartments.

For many residents, everyday essentials like soap, detergent, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies are not covered by SNAP or other assistance programs. These items are often the first to be cut when families are choosing between rent, utilities, food, and medical needs. Your drive helps fill that critical gap and directly supports families’ health, dignity, and housing stability.

CFRC makes it easy to participate:
 - We provide collection boxes
 - We provide a ready-to-use flyer
 - We pick up all donations at the end of the drive

Suggested donation items include:
 - Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant
 - Toilet paper, paper towels
 - Laundry detergent, dish soap
 - All-purpose cleaners, disinfecting wipes
 - Feminine hygiene products

Why this matters:
Access to basic hygiene and cleaning supplies helps families maintain healthy living environments, reduces stress, supports children’s well-being, and promotes stability for households working hard to make ends meet.
Whether you host a one-week or month-long drive, your effort will have an immediate and meaningful impact on families in your community.
