Cadence Bank celebrates Operation Hope partnership

It was an exciting day for Cadence Bank in Gulfport.

A grand opening was held at Richburg Hall celebrating Cadence Bank’s partnership with Operation Hope. The nonprofit helps communities with credit repair, money management, and small business financials.

City leaders discussed the incredible opportunities that would come with Operation Hope and guests were able to hear from CEO Dan Rollins and Founder John Hope Bryant.

Operation Hope has been empowering communities to have a more secure financial future for over 30 years. Cadence Bank Community Lending Manager Heather Sanders said, “We are celebrating our fifth location this afternoon. We’ll be celebrating our sixth and tomorrow our seventh, so we have grown this partnership and we continue to do so. We’re investing in the community because we want to increase small business in the area as well as raise credit scores and savings accounts.”

This partnership will also offer free financial counseling for individuals inside Cadence Bank.
