Thanks to our riders and drivers in 65 cities and 31 countries who took part in UberGIVING. Together we made a difference—from volunteering at food banks in Portugal, to collecting toy donations in Kenya. We gave back to our cities and communities around the world.
It’s that time of year when we feel like giving, but don’t always know how.
We’re making it easy for Ugandans to give back this December by picking up donations and taking them to where they are most needed. With UberGIVING, we will help you give back with the tap of a button.
What we’re collecting:
- Non-perishable food
- Children’s toys
- Stationery
- Toiletries
- Diapers
- Sports equipment
How can you make a difference?
It’s easy, here’s how you can take part in UberGIVING.
