The Care Drop
Help us deliver 2,000 mental health kits across New York City — assembled with intention, delivered with care.
WHAT IS THE CARE DROP
Turning community care into
something you can hold in your hands
The Care Drop is Culture Lime's newest community care initiative. Our goal is to assemble and distribute 2,000 mental health kits across New York City. Each kit will include mental health resources, comfort items, wellness tools, and a handwritten note from someone who believes no one should have to navigate difficult moments alone.
Because sometimes showing up for your community looks like a box that says: we see you, we're with you, and you're not carrying this by yourself.

CARE NOTES
Words of encouragement for
someone who may need them today
You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep going.
— From New York
I hope today is a little gentler than yesterday.
— A Stranger Who Cares
When you feel down, what's the song that brings you back up? I hope you find it today.
— A Community Member
Somebody assembled this kit with their own hands and thought of you. That's real.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Mental health is a
community issue
Mental health challenges touch every neighborhood in New York City, yet many people still lack access to support, resources, and spaces where they feel seen. The Care Drop was created to provide a meaningful reminder that community care is real, tangible, and available.
