Eden Prairie Liquor Customers Donate Thousands to PROP

To raise money for PROP food shelf, Eden Prairie Liquor stores hosted a Dollar Drive in November, inviting customers to contribute just $1 each time they visited. Together, these efforts raised more than $8,300 for PROP food shelf – exceeding our goal of $5,000! Thank you to the generous customers who contributed to this successful fundraising effort.

Toys for Tots

The City Center, Community Center and Senior Center are drop sites for Toys for Tots through Dec. 15. Look for the Toys for Tots logo near the front desks of each building. Toys for Tots accepts new, unwrapped toys and games for kids at locations throughout the Twin Cities (they cannot accept clothing, food or liquid products). Officers and a couple of Police Department robots are also collecting toys at Eden Prairie Center mall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11 in the Center Court near Von Maur.
