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.

For more than four decades, one Christchurch Meals on Wheels volunteer driver has been making deliveries, meeting people at their doors and seeing firsthand the difference a hot meal – and a friendly face – can make.

Every year on 20 June, we mark World Refugee Day to honour the courage of millions of people who have been forced to leave their homes. Across Aotearoa New Zealand, events large and small were held to honour refugee-background communities, amplify their voices, and encourage connections.

From earthquakes, floods, fires, and snowstorms Lavina Anderson has seen a lot in her 30 years as a disaster welfare and support volunteer. To mark her incredible service, she recently received Honorary Life Membership, awarded to people who’ve given exceptional service and dedication to Red Cross.

Ever wondered what happens once your donation leaves your doorstep? We’ve broken down what it takes to pull off the Uber x Red Cross Clothing Drive by the numbers.
