Eden Prairie Mayor's Statement on Death of George Floyd

Sign Sales Generate Nearly $1,500 for Eden Prairie PROP

For the month of May, the City offered a meaningful way for residents to support PROP and help remind our community that we’re #InThisTogether during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of residents purchased yard signs, with the proceeds slated to help feed hungry families in our community. All of the signs were sold and our community is making a collective donation of $1,435 to PROP.
