Call Federal Celebrates Grand Opening of Coalescence Coffee Company
On Friday, August 1st, Call Federal Credit Union joined community leaders, small business champions, and Richmond neighbors in celebrating the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Coalescence Coffee Company — a vibrant café rooted in culture, community, and entrepreneurship.
As a Premier Financial Sponsor and Exclusive Naming Partner, we are proud to have a permanent presence at the café through the Empower Community Room presented by Call Federal Credit Union — a dedicated space designed to host financial wellness workshops, business trainings, and networking events that align with our mission of making a positive impact in the community by supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs.
“Coalescence Coffee Company is more than a café — it’s a hub for connection and possibility. We’re proud to invest in spaces that reflect the values of Call Federal Credit Union and its Empower Program,” said Sherita Hayes, Business Development and Business Banking Manager at Call Federal.
This strategic partnership reflects a growing chapter for Call Federal’s Business Banking division — and for the Empower RVA Small Business Initiative, which provides financial education, relationship banking, and visibility for women-, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and veteran-owned small businesses.
As a Call Federal business member, Coalescence Coffee Company represents the kind of relationship-driven banking that supports not just business growth, but community transformation.
Through this partnership, Call Federal is:
- Bringing financial education directly into high-impact community spaces
- Expanding the reach of its Empower program in meaningful and visible ways
- Deepening support for Richmond’s entrepreneurs and change-makers
- Strengthening small local business ecosystems with real tools and access
The Empower Room at Coalescence is more than a meeting space — it’s a symbol of what happens when purpose and partnership come together.
