Empty Bowls raises record amount for Treasure House

The Empty Bowls Camas team announced Oct. 23 that its 2025 community fundraiser raised $27,000 for Inter-Faith Treasure House, Camas and Washougal’s only full-service food bank. The total represents a 100 percent increase over the group’s 2024 event and marks the largest fundraising effort in Empty Bowls Camas history, according to a news release.

“The donation comes at a critical time as ongoing food shortages and the government shutdown have increased the need for assistance in our community,” said Empty Bowls Camas director Jamie St. Clair.
