Uber x Red Cross Clothing Drive – by the numbers
30 October 2024
On 19 October, people were able to book a free Uber Package pickup to collect their pre-loved, quality clothes right from their doorsteps.
These donations go to our Red Cross Shops and support our work improving the lives of vulnerable people in New Zealand and overseas. People across Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch gave generously – thank you all so much!
