Camas Lions Shred Event a Huge Success!!

In a record-breaking feat, the Camas Lions' recent shredding event completely filled the shred truck with just five minutes to spare! The event, held at Riverview Bank's downtown Camas parking lot, saw an overwhelming turnout from the community.

Thanks to the generosity of participants, the Camas Lions raised over $2,000 to support their youth scholarship program that benefits students at the four Camas High Schools: Camas High School, Discovery High School,  Hayes Freedom High School, and Camas Connect Academy. Nearly 20 Lions volunteers tirelessly hauled boxes and sacks of documents to the shredder throughout the day, despite the mild drizzle typical of the Pacific Northwest.

Community Spirit Shines

The event wasn't just about shredding documents. Community members got the message that we were collecting food for the local food bank.  At the end of the day, Lion Martin’s truck bed was filled with groceries to be delivered to Treasure House.  Throughout the day, we collected cardboard boxes and sent the truckload of recycling with Lion Casey to process at the transfer station. This exemplifies the Camas Lions' commitment to serving the community beyond the shredding event.

A Big Thank You

A huge shoutout goes to Riverview Bank for graciously sponsoring the event, and to Tim from Shred Northwest for his hard work hauling bins. The event fostered a positive atmosphere, with plenty of smiles and thank you's exchanged between the Lions, Riverview Bank, and the Camas community.

Looking Ahead

Due to the event's tremendous success, discussions are underway to host another shredding event in the fall. Stay tuned for further updates!
