Operation Hope Inc., a nonprofit financial empowerment organization, has partnered with Wells Fargo to open its 200th HOPE Inside location at a redesigned Wells Fargo branch in DeKalb County, Georgia.

The location will feature a financial coach who will offer free financial education and guidance to members, according to a press release.

This is the first Wells Fargo branch to host a HOPE Inside. The bank plans to provide these centers to 20 markets by the end of 2023 as part of its Banking Inclusion Initiative.

"We are proud to be partnering with Wells Fargo to bring HOPE Inside to the Stone Mountain community. It is fitting that our milestone 200th HOPE Inside location has been unveiled in partnership with Wells Fargo, which has committed to help remove barriers to financial inclusion for unbanked and underserved communities," John Hope Bryant, founder, chairman and CEO of Operation Hope, said in the release. "We look forward to continuing to expand our efforts to support low-income communities and communities of color in achieving financial empowerment, ultimately bringing our proven offerings and coaching skills to 1,000 locations across America in the next couple of years."
