On December 5, 2009 Zion Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 1999 in conjunction with the Zion Police Association and Wal-Mart of Zion will be providing an early Christmas for families in need.  For the first time in Zion, firefighters will join police officers in helping area children shop for Christmas presents for themselves and their family in the Shop with a Cop/Firefighter program.  The kids selected by their area grade schools will meet police and fire personnel at the Zion Police Station where they will have a pizza lunch and then head out to Wal-Mart of Zion to shop for Christmas presents.  At the conclusion of the event, everyone will return to the Police Station where the gifts purchased will be wrapped and returned to the kids to put under the tree at their homes.  Local 1999 is proud to join with the Zion Police Association in this endeavor to help area families in need at this time of year.
