What does Zion Township do?
We exist to lead, empower, advocate and connect Zion residents to resources, services, and solutions.
Zion Township is a Government Agency that provides Zion residents with the resources they need in order to move forward. Primarily, we offer two main assistance programs, General Assistance and Emergency Assistance. Through both programs, our team works diligently to provide you with the resources that you need to get back on your feet.
So, whether you’ve recently lost your job, are waiting for the determination of a social security disability, have received an eviction or utility disconnect notice, are at risk of losing your job due to transportation, are trying to enter back into the workforce after being incarcerated, or find yourself facing a crisis of any sort, Zion Township may be able to help.
