FONDA, N.Y. -- This week we salute Troy Zilles, 8, from Fonda. Troy just finished second grade at Fonda-Fultonville School and recently had his eighth birthday party. After learning about the need at the local animal shelter from The Community Helper's that came in and educated the second graders, Troy decided that he did not need any gifts for his birthday.

He wanted to help the animal shelter by having his friends give donations such as dog and cat food supplies to support the animals. After receiving a lot of donations, Troy brought all of the supplies to his school, and the shelter was so thankful.
