The Stickney Township Office on Aging, in conjunction with Age Options, is currently offering referrals to older adults for a free service called Uniper that brings the digital world to their televisions.

To be eligible, a person must live in suburban Cook County outside of Chicago, be either 60 years or older, or be a caregiver.
