We can tell you the number of families we’ve assisted since we opened (3,600 and counting) or the number of active client families we have now (over 750). We can tell you the stories of children who are sleeping in their first beds or of families that finally have pots and pans and enough silverware for everyone. We can tell you about giving kids winter coats, boots, and mittens so they can safely get to school. The numbers tell part of the story.

We all need support to get through tough times. Our mission is to provide this support for any family or individual struggling with having enough resources. We do this with the help of the entire Eden Prairie community, its elected officials, its businesses, its residents.

There are so many varied ways that the community has helped the PROP Shop make an impact — financial donations, time donations, service, and items. We are strong because our community supports us in our mission of helping others.
