HOUSTON – Gexa Energy is marking its 25th anniversary by turning celebration into service. Over the past week the company organized multiple volunteer efforts across Houston from Midtown’s Meals on Wheels site to The Beacon’s Ardel Ray Day Center and Houston Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore with 25 employees joining shifts, and more volunteers on a waiting list. The result: hundreds of meals served, essentials delivered and meaningful connections made.
On the route: Meals on Wheels in Midtown
Gexa volunteers joined a briefing at the Midtown Meals on Wheels hub before loading insulated carriers and heading out on delivery routes. The work wasn’t just about food — it was about checking in on seniors, many over 75, who live alone and rely on those daily visits for companionship and safety. The program also accepts pet-food donations through an AniMeals initiative so seniors’ animal companions stay fed — if you have unopened cat or dog food to spare, consider donating.
Hands-on help at The Beacon
Gexa Energy also partnered with The Beacon to support Houston residents experiencing homelessness. Employees prepared and served hot meals, organized donation drives, and assisted with laundry and distribution — all aimed at preserving dignity and helping clients move toward stable housing. Corporate-community partnerships like this make measurable differences.
Houston Habitat for Humanity ReStore
Across town, Gexa Energy volunteers got to work at the Houston Habitat for Humanity ReStore — stocking shelves, pricing items, and organizing deals to help keep the store running smoothly. Volunteers say giving back matters because Houston is the community that supports their business, and with Gexa celebrating its 25th anniversary, they wanted to mark the milestone by serving the city that’s been with them for decades. One volunteer called it “a good day to be out here,” adding there’s no better way to say thank you than helping neighbors in need.
Habitat’s ReStore team says Gexa has become a committed partner — first volunteering a few years ago, “catching the bug,” and now returning again with strong support, including Gexa’s president, Ryan McGeachie. He also joined in to “get his hands dirty.” The ReStore rep says the help is meaningful and appreciated, crediting Gexa for showing up not just today, but for supporting Habitat’s work across the community.

A milestone that strengthens community
What started as an anniversary celebration has become an ongoing commitment to Gexa’s motto of “Texans Serving Texans.” From feeding seniors to sorting donations and helping feed unhoused neighbors downtown, Gexa’s 25th anniversary activities show how corporate volunteer programs can make a real difference in the community.
Hats off to the Gexa team for using a milestone to deepen ties with local nonprofits and to remind our city that small acts — a warm meal, a clean shirt, a friendly visit — matter.
