Uber is passionate about making cities better and empowering all members of our communities. We’ve teamed up with Dress for Success Columbus to promote women’s economic independence here in Ohio.

“This partnership helps us not only reach out to the masses, but uplift women while bringing value and convenience to our community.” – Melony Butler, Executive Director for Dress for Success Cleveland

Our partnership with Dress for Success Columbus allows you to donate items that help disadvantaged women get dressed up for job interviews. On Wednesday, October 21, open your app and donate your items to Dress for Success Columbus at the touch of a button.

PRO-TIP: Starting today, bring your donation items and clothing to work and gather one big donation pickup for Wednesday. Share the donation drive with co-workers who haven’t used Uber and encourage the entire office to participate!
