Houston, TX · 501(c)(3) Nonprofit
Every Kid Deserves to Play.
RBI collects gently used sports equipment and puts it back in the hands of Houston's youth — free of charge, full of heart.
Our mission
Leveling the playing field, one glove at a time.
Recycled Baseball Items, Inc. is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes every child deserves a fair shot at the game. We collect gently used baseball, softball, basketball, football, and soccer gear — and redistribute it to underfunded youth programs, community leagues, and families who need it most. No child should sit on the sidelines because of the cost of a glove.
How it works
Simple steps. Real impact.
You Donate
Drop off your gently used sports gear at one of our Houston collection points. Baseball gloves, cleats, helmets, balls — we take it all.
We Sort & Inspect
Our volunteers carefully sort, clean, and inspect every item to make sure it's safe and ready for a new season of play.
Kids Play
Gear goes directly to youth programs, community leagues, and families across Houston — free of charge, full of possibility.
