Help Welcome Prairie Pointe Families!
  • Help Welcome Prairie Pointe Families!

    Join us in welcoming families to Prairie Pointe in Shakopee by donating new essential items.
  • Donation Drive Instructions

    Please read below
  • We are excited to be welcoming families now into Prairie Pointe. 

    Of the 42 units in the building, 28 will be for families that have recently experienced homelessness and may have few belongings to outfit their new homes. Our donation drive will ensure they have the necessary household items available when they arrive.

    Families will be moving into the building in two waves. We are spacing out the donation drive to match the move-in timeline—10 in the first wave and 18 in the second.   

    Donation Timeline

    Wave One:

     Completed- thanks for your generosity!! 

    Wave Two: LIVE!!

    Supply Drive open December - January

    We will collect supplies at Prairie Pointe on Monday, January 12th, from 4 pm to 6 pm., and Friday, January 16th, from 9 am to 11 am.

    Donation Drive

    We are collecting three types of donations:

    1. Three different types of baskets with essentials for each unit - kitchen, cleaning, and household. Congregations sign up to secure a full list of items in a basket, create the baskets for each unit, and drop the baskets at Prairie Pointe on the designated dates. 

    2. Specific items that an individual can buy and drop off on the designated dates.

    3. Cash donations that will be used to supplement the supplies collected during the drive and keep our donation closet at Prairie Pointe stocked for future needs.

    Instructions

    Please use the form below to sign up for congregational baskets, individual items, or a cash donation. 

    If you would like to participate in more than one type of donation (cash, basket or individual items), please submit the form as separate commitments (ex: once as your congregation's commitment, once as your personal one).
