Over the past few months, we’ve heard a message again and again—from longtime supporters, new families, corporate teams, and neighbors who simply want to do something meaningful:

“How can I help?”

It’s one of the most encouraging things we hear at PROP. In a time when so many local families are facing uncertainty, our community continues to step forward with generosity, compassion, and a desire to make a difference. People want to roll up their sleeves. They want to support their neighbors. They want to know their actions matter.

And here is one simple, powerful opportunity to do exactly that.

On February 10 from 5–7 PM, PROP is hosting Pack for a Purpose: Community Night—a hands‑on volunteer event where community members of all ages come together to pack food boxes for PROP clients. These boxes go directly to households in Eden Prairie and Chanhassen who rely on PROP each month for essential groceries.

If you’ve ever wondered what you can do to support local families, this is it.

Unlike fundraisers or long‑term volunteer commitments, Pack for a Purpose is designed for anyone who wants to help in a direct, tangible way. For two hours, volunteers will sort, assemble, and pack food items that become part of the lifeline PROP provides to families experiencing food insecurity. It’s simple work—but the impact is anything but small.

The best part? Everyone is welcome. Bring your kids. Invite a friend. Come on your own and meet others who care about strengthening our community. No special skills needed—just a willingness to lend a hand.

If you’ve been wanting to get involved, wanting to give back, or wanting to show support for families in our community, we hope you’ll join us. This is a night where your time becomes kindness made visible—one box at a time.

UPDATE: This event is now full. We will be holding another event soon. Thank you for your interest.
