On 19 October, from 10am to 4pm you can book a free Uber Package pickup via the app to collect your pre-loved, quality clothes right from your doorstep. These donations go straight to our Red Cross Shops and support our work improving the lives of vulnerable people.
Available in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
How to donate on 19 October
It’s easy! Firstly, give your wardrobe a good Spring clean out! Gather your quality pre-loved items into a bag or box, no heavier than 20kg, so it can comfortably sit in the boot of a midsize car. Then:
- Open the Uber app.

- If you're in an eligible city the Red Cross Clothing Drive promotion should automatically apply, so check that the trip is showing as a $0 amount
