On Saturday, 17 October 2026, Uber and New Zealand Red Cross are bringing back an easy way for people across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to donate quality pre-loved clothing and support our humanitarian work across Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world. From 10 am to 4 pm, you can book a FREE Uber Courier trip via the Uber or UberEats apps to collect your pre-loved, quality clothes right from your doorstep.

To commemorate the 81st anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, Waiheke Red Cross hosted its second Paper Cranes for Peace event.

After nearly 60 years delivering Meals on Wheels, Elaine Utting, QSM, still isn’t ready to hang up the keys. The long-serving volunteer continues to deliver meals regularly in Auckland, driven by the same desire to help others that first inspired her to sign up in early 1967.

Most people would call it a day at 93 years old after 30 years of service. Not Neil Hume. He’s still behind the wheel in West Auckland, still turning up for people on his New Zealand Red Cross Meals on Wheels route, and still finding purpose in every meal dropped at the door.

Judy Owen is our longest-serving international delegate. For 40 years, she went into conflict zones with International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide humanitarian relief to the victims of war.
