Food Donations 2024

At Eggroll Queen, we believe in sharing what we have with those in need. At the end of each day, when we have extra food left over, we make it a point to ensure it doesn’t go to waste. Our freshly made egg rolls and fried rice are packed up and delivered to local homeless shelters. It’s important to us that the food we create not only brings joy to our customers but also helps those who are going through tough times. Knowing that our meals provide nourishment to someone who might otherwise go hungry makes our work feel even more meaningful.

Neighborhood Clean Up Events 10-26-2015

October 26, 2015

City-wide Community Clean-ups are one-day events which allow residents to discard just about anything. District Councils work in a partnership with the city to bring together haulers and vendors alike. They meet in one central location and make efforts to reuse or recycle resident’s old or unwanted items for less of a cost than you would incur paying a garbage hauler to take it all away. In 2015, there will be six clean-ups throughout the year which will be open to all St. Paul residents.
