Students at Augustana College rummage through odds and ends at the college's first Gus' Garage Sale. All of the proceeds from the sale are being donated to Water to Thrive, a non-profit organization that builds wells in rural Africa.

Students at Augustana College recently held the first Gus' Garage Sale to raise money to build wells in Africa, and to prevent some castoffs from being sent to landfills.

WVIK's Benjamin Payne reports:

If you would like to donate to the next Gus' Garage Sale, email Keri Bass with Augustana's CORE office.
