When former students from Independence High’s Class of 1980 returned to their old west Charlotte neighborhood, they did more than just reminisce—they rolled up their sleeves and served meals to over 100 residents facing tough times. Many of these alumni grew up nearby but were bused out decades ago. Now, they’re reconnecting with old friends and giving back, offering not just food but also voter registration, music, and support for those seeking housing and social services. It’s a powerful reminder of how lasting community bonds can spark real change. How do you think alumni groups can make a difference in their hometowns? #News #Charlotte #CommunitySupport
