On Saturday, 17 October between 10am and 4pm, it’s go time. Pack your quality pre-loved clothes into a sturdy bag or box under 20kg, small enough to fit comfortably in a midsize car boot. Then:

  1. Open the Uber or Uber Eats app
  2. Scroll to the Red Cross Clothing Drive image, and tap.
  3. Read through instructions and hit ‘book now’ to reach the checkout screen
  4. You should see ‘Red Cross Clothing Drive’ on screen, and the drop-off spot should be pre-selected for you.
  5. If you’re in an eligible city, the Red Cross Clothing Drive promotion should automatically apply, so check that your Courier trip is showing as a $0 amount
  6. Confirm!

    Great promotion and a great cause. Red Cross is my op shop of choice, not many non-religious ones around.

      Wouldn't it be better for the donation of clothes go directly to those in need or are there just too much supply that they get sold off and then perhaps some of the funds go back to the needy

        It's much much easier to distribute money, and you get more effectiveness per dollar. At my local charity thrift shop there are also programs for those in need to get gift cards etc. to shop in store.

            @Poor Ass: Free gift cards to buy stuff in the store. Either small amounts via manager approval or larger via program.

            Like someone comes in needing some clothes manager can give them a $20 gift card, or they can get approval for funding for e.g. a bed and mattress.

        are there just too much supply

        Have you seen the ungodly amount that gets exported to third world country for "recycling".

        Clothing the poor isn't the issue anymore, cheap cloth are everywhere.

        Feeding the poor is the issue now.

        Good luck feeding people with your used jacket.

    Why not just dump them in the charity bins?

    • toxie on 01/10/2026 - 22:49

      Those get on sold and or dumped in third world countries and aren't really 'charities'

      Why not just pick up the food from the restaurant? People use uber for convenience especially if it’s free

      The free Uber pickup is much more convenient and also helps the driver get a bonus pay for each of these pick-ups.

    Just a heads up for anyone doing the Red Cross donation promo. I had about 20kg of clothes specifically saved up for this. I activated the promo in the app and noticed no drop off location was preselected, so I just picked the closest one. The discount applied successfully and the driver picked up the bags and drove off.

    Around 15 minutes later, I got a message from the driver saying she couldn't contact the location. The app gave me zero options to reply or contact her back. I ended up calling the donation spot directly and they told me absolutely no one had tried to deliver anything today. They also said the driver should have been automatically notified of the correct drop off points since there are only 6 in Melbourne.

    I am not entirely sure if it is an app glitch or a driver issue but it was a massive fail. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the jokes people made in this thread earlier about drivers keeping the clothes actually come true.

      Yes, the driver also contacted me also at destination with who to hand over the items to. Looks like no communication had been provided to Uber / red Cross.

      • CheapThrillsMate on 17/10/2026 - 13:26

        Mine did not contact me at all. The message that came through was not from her via the chat option, but it came as an Uber notification pop up that I wasn't able to respond to. Apparently the app should have auto populated a correct location, but mine did not. However, the discount was still applied. I contacted Uber, explained what happened. They will get me back to me in 6-12 hours…
