284 Hot Meals For The Homeless

Huge thank you to every volunteer who showed up today.

You made this happen.

We prepared and served 284 hot meals across two community sites. Every step ran because of you—prep team, chefs, packers, and the crew who delivered to the second site. You worked hard, moved fast, and showed real heart.

We had 30 helpers, each giving about 3.5 hours. That is real impact. It was fun working alongside you, and we hope you felt the same.

This event would not have been possible without all of you.

Special thanks to our EQ Freezer Club members and everyone who supports our Pay-It-Forward meals. You provided the raw materials and supplies that made every meal possible.

We wrapped right at 6 PM. Smooth. Focused. Done right.

We plan to keep this going.
Hot Meals — once a month, last Monday, 4–6 PM.

Want to keep helping?

We’re building something meaningful together.
Thank you for being part of it.

Labels On Egg Rolls. Is That Permanent Marker?

No, of course, not. They are edible markers.

In our kitchen, labeling egg rolls is an essential step to ensure our customers can easily identify and enjoy the specific varieties they’ve chosen. We use edible food markers to write clear, simple labels on the egg rolls before packaging or serving. Each label corresponds to the type of filling, making it convenient for everyone to pick their favorites without confusion.

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.

July 24, 2015

On July 19, 2015, Soua Yang and Fue Vang (Modern Woodman of America) organized a team of East Side St. Paul community members to help clean up a couple of major streets.  The goal was to clean up Maryland, Payne, and Arcade; however, due to the short time scheduled (1:00 pm- 4:30 pm), the volunteers were only able to cover Payne Avenue from Mennehaha to Larpeneur and Arcade Street from Minnehaha to Maryland.
