“Our services save lives in South Arkansas, and we are very passionate about ending violence,” said Turning Point Executive Director Jennifer Davis. “We’re thankful for this critical funding from Cadence Bank and FHLB Dallas to continue our mission.”

The nonprofit will use the funds to continue offsetting the cost of operating its shelter and for operating expenses.

“One of our core values at Cadence is to do right by others, so this partnership with FHLB Dallas to assist Turning Point with its efforts is significant for us,” said David Skinner, Cadence Bank president - South Arkansas division. “Its programs provide critical physical and emotional support and a safe haven for families in dangerous environments.”
