Volunteer: Downtown Organization & Beautification Day

Geenius Innovators Inc. is preparing our Downtown Houston warehouse for the next phase of community impact, and this day is focused on organization, structure, and elevating the space that serves thousands of families across our city.


We’ve received a large volume of donated items, and our goal is to transform the warehouse into a clean, efficient, and well-organized distribution hub that supports our Each One Feed One program, which provides food and essential household items to families and partner organizations — while also reducing landfill waste and lowering our carbon footprint.

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.

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.
