Austin Police Officer Kim Deutsch helps Branden Mikkelson, 6, with some Christmas shopping Tuesday evening at Wal-Mart. Mikkelson and 19 other kids took part in the Shop with a Hero program that teamed kids up with members of the Austin Police Department, Austin Fire Department, and Gold Cross Ambulance. Each kid was given a $50 gift card with money taken from a $1,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation. - Eric Johnson/photodesk@austindailyherald.com
