You don't need to know anything about bikes to volunteer at Freewheels Houston.

We will put you to work cleaning bikes, fixing flats and helping around the shop. Each time you come back, you will learn something new. A lot of our most experienced mechanics started exactly where you're starting — with no idea how much they'd love this.

The work has an immediate payoff. People come to the shop every weekend to pick up a bike that will get them to work, to school, to the grocery store. You will see that happen.

Registering in advance helps us prepare for your visit and makes sure we have your contact information for updates and communications.

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

If you know how to fix a bike, Freewheels Houston needs you.

Our volunteers repair donated bikes that go to refugees, veterans and young people from low-income families in Houston — people who depend on these bikes to get to work and school. Last year our mechanics repaired and distributed more than 640 bikes. The bottleneck is always skilled hands.

Our shop is well equipped with tools, parts and a repair checklist developed with input from a master bike technician. If you know most bike systems — drivetrain, shifting, brakes, wheels and tires, handlebars and steering — you will be repairing bikes on your first visit. If you're still building your skills, our experienced volunteers are generous with what they know.

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

Position Overview
The Assistant Client Care Manager plays a pivotal role in supporting Project C.U.R.E.'s mission by ensuring strong relationships with partners and sponsors throughout each step of the shipping container project process. From the moment a partner engages with Project C.U.R.E. to the delivery of donated medical supplies, the Assistant Client Care Manager ensures smooth communication, timely updates, and an exceptional experience. This role supports the Executive Director (Client Care Manager) and interacts regularly with the logistics team to keep projects on track and fulfill all partner and sponsor expectations.   Although this position is primarily remote, we would ask that you come to our Spring Branch warehouse for initial training and then occasionally thereafter.

Included is a step-by-step guide outlining the project process to aid in training and orientation.

Key Responsibilities

1.         Initial Contact and Request Submission: Partners submit a request for donated medical supplies.

2.         Verification and Feasibility: Project C.U.R.E. reviews the feasibility of shipping supplies and arranges a consultation with the partner to discuss the process, expectations, and requirements.

3.         Cargo Consultation: Conduct a consultation with the partner to verify critical details such as necessary equipment, facility readiness, and required funds, and to clarify any questions.

4.         Partnership Plan Agreement: After the consultation, the partner reviews and signs a Partnership Plan. While not legally binding, this document ensures mutual understanding and alignment on project expectations and responsibilities.

5.         Assessment Invoice: Once the Partnership Plan is signed, the Client Care Manager requests an assessment invoice from the Assessment Manager (Tresena). The invoice is sent to the partner, and upon payment confirmation, introductions are made to continue the assessment process.

6.         Assessment and Facility Evaluation: Tresena schedules an on-site assessment, with the in-country partner responsible for logistics support. The assessor evaluates the facility and completes a report based on findings.

7.         Shipping Invoice and Payment: Following the assessment, Project C.U.R.E. issues a shipping invoice. Once paid, it is logged in the database, and the logistics team prepares the shipping manifest.

8.         Manifest Review and Modifications: The partner reviews the shipping manifest, requesting any necessary modifications to ensure alignment with their needs.

9.         Shipping and Delivery Coordination: The logistics team arranges shipment, selecting an appropriate warehouse and setting a loading date. The container is then shipped to the specified port or facility.

10.   Final Confirmation and Story Collection: After the container arrives, partners are encouraged to provide photos and stories to share the impact of the supplies. A follow-up assessment may occur the following year to gather additional data and evaluate ongoing impact.

Cypress Assistance Ministries (CAM) is partnering with some area grocery stores to help provide food for our food pantry. We just need some helpful individuals to pick up the donations from these retailers and help deliver them to CAM's facility.

Programs like this are wonderful resources for CAM, as they help us source items that would be otherwise difficult to source (such as bakery items and produce), and they help reduce food waste in our community.

Volunteers must have access to a vehicle suitable for transporting food items (an SUV or minivan would work perfectly, a sedan with sufficient trunk space would work as well). We will provide insulated bags.

We need weekly drivers for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You may choose to volunteer for one, two, or all three of these pick-ups.
