Uber has partnered with the Red Cross in Australia and New Zealand for its eighth annual clothing drive. The initiative features a campaign fronted by pop icon Melanie C, who has donated items from her personal archive, such as a ~~“black~~ ‘black Gucci dress and a sequin ~~suit,”~~ suit,’ to encourage participation. On Saturday, 17 October 2026, between 10am and 4pm, residents in major Australian cities—including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney—can use the Uber or Uber Eats app to book free courier deliveries for donated items. Donations are restricted to bags or boxes weighing no more than 20 kg. The collected pre-loved clothing will be sold in Red Cross shops to fund various charity programs, with the service specifically designed to increase convenience for donors who may struggle to visit physical shops. Research commissioned by Uber indicates that 87 per cent of Australians hold onto clothes they never wear, often accumulating significant value in unworn wardrobes.
