Donate your unwanted clothes with Uber and Red Cross

Now is your chance to free up some wardrobe space and do good for the community. PIC: Supplied

Ride sharing service Uber is teaming up with the Australian Red Cross to help out those in need of a few extra layers this winter.

Between 12 and 4 this afternoon users can order an Uber to collect their unwanted fashion and have it delivered to Red Cross stores across Perth. 

We're being urged to raid the wardrobe and bag up any unwanted clothes, shoes or accessories.

Unfortunately toys, books, furniture and electrical items cannot be accepted in today's drive but will be taken in store as usual.

To get involved, tap the Red Cross Clothing Drive card in the Uber app, order a ride and wait for the items to be collected. 

Unfortunately Mandurah and surrounding suburbs are not included within the intake area for the event.

Residents outside of the coverage map are encouraged to donate their goods in person.

The Red Cross is asking for quality over quantity. 

Damaged or thread-bare items with stains will be rejected.

The clothing drive partnership is now in its third year.
