PEOPLE REACHING OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE

PROP’s services have increased 400% over the past ten years. In 2000 PROP was serving 30 households weekly, and by 2009 that number had grown to 125. For several years, PROP operated out of a 2,500-square-foot space in the City Center, compliments of the City of Eden Prairie. The ever-growing need in the community eventually led to a search for a larger space that would accommodate more food storage, private meeting rooms for clients, and a safe and efficient environment for volunteers and staff.

Anticipating continued growth in demand for services, PROP’s first-ever capital campaign was launched in May of 2009 by the PROP Board of Directors. With the support of private and federal funds, PROP was able to purchase a building and move into its new space at 14700 Martin Drive in Eden Prairie in June of 2009. The new 8,600-square-foot facility provides an excellent and efficient environment in which to provide basic services and support to participants working toward long-term economic stability.
