Zion, IL – The Zion Police Department is bringing holiday cheer back to the community with its annual “Shop with a Cop” program, helping local children and families enjoy the season through a special shopping event.
According to the Zion Police Department, officers partner with community donors each year to take children on a shopping trip for gifts, clothing, and essentials during the holidays. The program is designed to build positive relationships between officers and youth while easing the financial burden on local families.
The department is currently accepting donations to support this year’s event. Contributions can be made through PayPal at paypal.me/zbchc — donors are asked to include “Shop with a Cop” in the notes.
Zion police officers say the event not only provides gifts but also gives children the chance to interact with law enforcement in a positive and supportive environment. The department encourages residents to donate or volunteer to help make the holidays brighter for local families.
This year’s event is part of a broader effort across Lake County, Illinois, where several law enforcement agencies are hosting similar community outreach programs leading up to the holidays.
