ABOUT US

Long viewed as a collaborative collection of professionals who care passionately about seniors, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Aging Coalition has its original roots dating back to 1993 when a Home and Community Block Grant Advisory Committee, appointed by the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners, recommended broader consideration regarding the specific needs of older adults. Our mission statement was created in 1994 and remains the same today:

To facilitate interagency cooperation, identify critical issues and promote response strategies.

Since that time, C-MAC has partnered with the Council on Aging, Area Agency on Aging, United Way and multiple senior service providers to address issues within the senior population. Some of our major initiatives include conducting an Aging Survey with response recommendations, presenting workshops on “The Aging Explosion”, coordinating Older American Month activities, leading “Hunger in the Senior Community” and “Harvest for All Seasons” programs, and delivering Emergency Preparedness Kits to 250 home-bound seniors.

Today, CMAC remains committed to the seamless, collaborative focus on making the world a better place for our local older adults and their caregivers.
