Union County’s ‘ASK’ Services Kiosk Continues to Serve the Senior Community With Five New Dates in August

The Union County Board of County Commissioners encourages seniors and their caregivers to visit their local 'ASK' services kiosk this August. These services provide an opportunity for attendees to meet with experienced professionals who can offer expert guidance on senior programs and resources and help with form completion. Bilingual staff will be available at several events to offer support in Spanish.

"At our 'ASK' kiosks, our friendly and professional staff is dedicated to providing the latest information to our senior community, ensuring they are aware of helpful programs and services they might otherwise miss out on," said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. "No appointment or registration is necessary. Simply visit an ASK kiosk at your local library on the provided dates and get connected to the latest community services and programs available to you."

ASK, short for Aging Services Kiosk, is a program within the Union County Department of Human Services, specifically operated by the Division on Aging. It offers adults aged 60 and older, along with their caregivers, a friendly and convenient avenue to discover valuable programs and services and speak individually with a Division on Aging professional.

Staff at the ASK kiosks can help older adults and caregivers connect with various services, including home-delivered meals, respite care, home care, adult day care, and support services for caregivers. Any Union County senior or caregiver can visit any ASK kiosk, regardless of their hometown. No appointment or pre-registration is needed. Below are the upcoming ASK events in August:
