Join Us in Making a Real Difference


The 4th Annual Homeless Festival, in partnership with Officer Sheldon Theragood and his foundation, is coming up on Saturday, May 30, 2026, and we’re looking for volunteers with big hearts and willing hands.

This event is more than a photo opportunity. It’s a day of service, dignity, connection, and compassion for our unhoused neighbors.  We believe strongly in giving back, and we’re building a team of volunteers who share that passion.

What We’re Looking For:
• Volunteers who want to serve with purpose
• People who believe in community, respect, and humanity
• Individuals who can help with setup, distribution, guest support, and cleanup
• A positive spirit and a willingness to put others first

What You’ll Experience:
• A meaningful, hands-on opportunity to uplift the homeless community
• Working alongside dedicated partners and caring team members
• The joy of knowing your contribution makes a direct impact
• A day filled with service, gratitude, and community unity

If you’re ready to give back in a real and meaningful way, we’d love to have you.

To take the next step, please respond to this need and we will send you the HHD Volunteer Packet.

This packet includes:

•          The official application form.

•          Detailed information about the requirements for service, including commitment expectations and a very basic, non-intrusive background check. This check is simply part of our standard process to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

Please complete all the forms in the packet and return them to: HHD-Volunteers@houstontx.gov. Once we receive your completed paperwork, the HHD Volunteer Coordinator, Kesha McNeil, will review it and contact you to schedule an interview and find the best fit for your skills.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Join Us in Making a Real Difference


The 4th Annual Homeless Festival, in partnership with Officer Sheldon Theragood and his foundation, is coming up on Saturday, May 30, 2026, and we’re looking for volunteers with big hearts and willing hands.

This event is more than a photo opportunity. It’s a day of service, dignity, connection, and compassion for our unhoused neighbors.  We believe strongly in giving back, and we’re building a team of volunteers who share that passion.

What We’re Looking For:
• Volunteers who want to serve with purpose
• People who believe in community, respect, and humanity
• Individuals who can help with setup, distribution, guest support, and cleanup
• A positive spirit and a willingness to put others first

What You’ll Experience:
• A meaningful, hands-on opportunity to uplift the homeless community
• Working alongside dedicated partners and caring team members
• The joy of knowing your contribution makes a direct impact
• A day filled with service, gratitude, and community unity

If you’re ready to give back in a real and meaningful way, we’d love to have you.

To take the next step, please respond to this need and we will send you the HHD Volunteer Packet.

This packet includes:

•          The official application form.

•          Detailed information about the requirements for service, including commitment expectations and a very basic, non-intrusive background check. This check is simply part of our standard process to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

Please complete all the forms in the packet and return them to: HHD-Volunteers@houstontx.gov. Once we receive your completed paperwork, the HHD Volunteer Coordinator, Kesha McNeil, will review it and contact you to schedule an interview and find the best fit for your skills.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Volunteer: Bike shop volunteer -- no experience necessary

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/.

Volunteer: Volunteer bike mechanic -- put your skills to work

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.

Volunteer: Donate your used bike

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.

Volunteer: Conduct a toiletry & Cleaning Supply Drive for families in need!

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.
