KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- "The Red Bus Project" is making it's 13th stop here in Knoxville on a campus wide tour across the United States.

It's a tour that features a double-decker bus turned into a mobile thrift store. It travels from college to college, spreading awareness about the needs of orphans and raising money for orphan care.

It's a concept that was created for college students who want to help others but are on a limited budget. Instead of donating money, students can donate gently used unwanted clothes.

The funds raised by the thrift store will go toward providing forever families to orphans.

It will be at the UT campus at noon. Everyone is invited to buy from the thrift store or bring gently used clothes to donate.
