Empty Bowls Camas raises $42,000 for Interfaith Treasure House

Empty Bowls Camas, which brings together local artists, restaurants, businesses and volunteers to raise money and awareness for hunger relief, raised $42,000 for the Interfaith Treasure House during its third annual fundraiser, supporting food assistance programs in Camas, Washougal and Southwest Washington.

The Sept. 22 event at the Black Pearl on the Columbia sold out, drawing more than 600 guests who sampled soups donated by nine local restaurants. The PNW Table won the People’s Choice award for the second consecutive year.
