Eden Prairie residents, it's that time of year again. Preparations are underway for the annual Night to Unite event, scheduled for August 5, where neighborhoods come together to bolster a sense of community and celebrate city pride. The first Tuesday of August has historically been the date when this unifying event takes place across the country.
This year's fete, as detailed on the City of Eden Prairie's official announcement, is an opportunity for locals to engage with their neighbors, strengthen bonds, and deepen their connection to the city they call home. To add a special touch to the celebration, residents planning to host gatherings can request the presence of Eden Prairie Police or Fire Department representatives.
For Eden Prairie locals wishing to have public safety officials stop by their event, they'll need to visit edenprairie.org/NightToUnite and complete the registration process. To ensure a spot, the form must be submitted no later than July 28. Adding a charitable twist to the event, the city is urging participants to contribute food donations to PROP (People Reaching Out to People), a local food shelf with a mission to support those in need.
As part of the food drive associated with Night to Unite, hosts who donate more than 200 pounds of food will be entered into a drawing. The lucky winner will be graced with an ice cream social, courtesy of the Eden Prairie Police and Fire Departments. Community involvement is a hallmark of this event, as it not only fosters neighborly connection but also directs aid to those facing food insecurity.
If there are any questions or additional information required about the upcoming Night to Unite, 'Jenna Zwak at 952-949-6200' is the point of contact as indicated in the source bulletin. More information and updates regarding the Eden Prairie Police Department can be found on their blog at edenprairie.org/EPPDBlog.
