Red Cross Clothing Drive
The Uber X Red Cross Clothing Drive is back on Saturday 21 October!
Between 9am–4pm on Saturday 21 October, you can book a free Uber Package pickup via the Uber app to collect your pre-loved, quality clothes from your doorstep, for donation to Australian Red Cross Shops. Available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth!
Why donate?
Our shops urgently need high-quality clothing and accessories to sell. This helps us fund critical projects to improve the lives of people experiencing vulnerability in Australia, and overseas. Together, we can make a real difference in someone's life during hardship, disaster, crisis or isolation.
What to donate?
Australian Red Cross Shops need quality clothing and accessories. As a guide, if it’s something you’d feel great about giving to a friend, then it’s perfect to donate! Bonus points for Spring and Summer clothing as these items are currently in high demand.
How to donate
- Gather your pre-loved items into a bag or box, no heavier than 20kg, so it can comfortably sit in the boot of a midsize car.
- Open the Uber app > Services.
- Tap on Package (brown box icon.)
- Select ‘Send a package’.
- Enter ‘Red Cross Shop’ as the recipient and select your local Australian Red Cross Shop location.
- The Australian Red Cross Clothing Drive promotion should automatically apply, so check that the trip is showing as a $0 amount.
- Confirm, keep an eye on the app and meet the delivery person picking up your donation at the door, or kerbside if you can.
Supporting the planet
