PSL Love Dropbox

What

Each PSL Drop Box will feature a dedicated station where passersby can familiarize themselves with this simple act of kindness initiative, conveniently located at their regular haunts (coffee shops, library, retail store, restaurants, community center, etc.).

The station will include a side table, a caddy stocked with writing materials (card paper, markers, pens, pencils), informative signage, and a QR code for volunteers to scan and discover “Who Needs Love.” Additionally, there will be a drop box for them to deposit their completed cards.

Local PSL Love Ambassadors will be responsible for restocking the caddy with paper and writing supplies, updating the signage, and periodically collecting cards from the drop boxes for dispatch to their intended recipients.

Why

According to the CDC, communities affected by social loneliness span all age groups. There has been a 50% increase in social isolation since 2021. Also a 57% increase in overall sadness and hopelessness in young people since 2021. The PSL Drop Box initiative extends an invitation to individuals to partake in this act of kindness, allowing them to express their unique forms of creativity. By participating, they contribute words of encouragement and love to those who are in need of a positive emotional boost.

Empathy is a quality that benefits from regular exercise, and this community initiative has the potential to bring out the best in residents. It can pique curiosity about kindness, infuse a sense of positivity, and restore faith in humanity. It can serve as an inspiration for volunteers to engage in further acts of kindness, setting off a chain reaction of goodwill.
