Funds flow in to help restaurateurs

An online fundraiser to help the owners of a downtown Camas restaurant, who were badly burned in a kitchen accident earlier this month, has surpassed its 50 percent mark after just six days.

Carrie Schulstad, executive director of the Downtown Camas Association, started the GoFundMe campaign last week to help Agnes and Phillip Park, owners of Hana Foods, a Korean restaurant in the heart of downtown Camas, who were burned after scalding teriyaki sauce boiled over on May 4, injuring Phillip’s hand and foot and badly burning his mother, Agnes, the restaurant’s main cook.
