Night to Unite Update

In the best interest of staff and residents, the Eden Prairie Police and Fire Departments have canceled this year's Night to Unite, which was originally scheduled for Aug. 4 and rescheduled for Oct. 6. Although Night to Unite is a favorite event for many, it is unfortunately unsafe to gather at this time.

As part of Night to Unite, Eden Prairie PROP receives a large donation of food from residents through a food drive contest. Residents are strongly encouraged to still donate to PROP during this time of need.
