OUR STORY
We're just people who wanted to make friends in Charlotte
40to60s Friends of Charlotte started as a simple idea — adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s need real ways to meet people too, not just kids and 20-somethings. What began as a small Facebook group has grown into a community of over 10,400 members across the Charlotte area, all showing up for the same reason: good company, no pressure, no agenda.
