Join TOCNYS Capital Region for Frunksgiving, our food drive ahead of Thanksgiving.

We will meet at Tesla Albany, shop for donations together at the nearby ALDI, and drive as a group to South End Children's Cafe in Albany to deliver everything we collect. South End Children's Cafe serves free, healthy meals to children in Albany.

Buy what you can. Any amount helps.

In a Tesla with Grok, say "Navigate to the TOCNYS Frunksgiving event at Tesla Albany."
