Operation HOPE announced today that it is receiving the donation of Truist Financial Corporation's former Tucker, Georgia, branch. This donation is part of Truist's $20 million investment to Operation HOPE for financial education and support of significant initiatives.

The location will serve as a community hub, which will include offices, conference rooms and open spaces for educational discussions and presentations. HOPE Inside coaches will have space to provide clients with financial counseling on everyday financial questions to assist them on their financial journeys. 

"We've accomplished significant impact through our partnership with Truist. The donation of this Tucker location will allow us to expand our footprint and provide much-needed financial literacy programs to more communities, more families and more individuals," said Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman and CEO, John Hope Bryant. I'm proud of the work we've already achieved with Truist as our partner and look forward to continuing to bring lasting, positive changes to the financial wellbeing of every client who walks through the doors of our new Operation HOPE site."

The former Truist branch, built on 1.619 acres of land, will be functional for Operation HOPE in 2023 and will be a state-of-the-art facility.

"At Truist, we deliver on our purpose to build better lives and communities through partnerships like Operation HOPE," said Chief Retail and Small Business Banking Officer Dontá Wilson. "We're proud this location can now take on a new life by providing financial coaching and resources to change lives for the better and help those in our communities achieve financial happiness."

Operation HOPE's partnership with Truist also includes a series of collaborative programs such as HOPE Inside coaching, digital access that connects to education and banking solutions, including Truist, and the creation of 1 million Black-owned businesses (1MBB) by 2030 through the Operation Hope 1MBB initiative.
