Something Empowering is Brewing…
At Call Federal Credit Union, we believe a warm cup of coffee can spark big ideas and lasting connections. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Coalescence Coffee, an inspiring local entrepreneur, to fuel more than your morning—we’re fueling opportunity, growth, and community.
Through our Empower Program, Call Federal helps Richmond thrive by supporting entrepreneurs like Coalescence Coffee with the tools, education, and networks they need to grow. But Empower isn’t just for businesses—it’s also for individuals and families who want to build confidence with money, whether improving credit, budgeting, or saving for the future.
Together, over coffee, we’re brewing a place where ideas take root, businesses flourish, and everyone can make their best call with money and beyond.
