Hope Clinic in Hattiesburg is a vital resource for individuals facing unplanned pregnancies, offering medical services that empower them to make informed decisions. At a recent fundraiser, we heard firsthand how the Hope Clinic’s work has positively changed lives. Our own Clayton Rush, Business Banker, serves as Treasurer and Board Member for Hope Clinic, furthering our commitment to strengthening our community. Together, we’re working toward a brighter future. Thank you to Hope Clinic for the incredible work you do each day. #communitybank #localbank #communitybanking

When we think of a brighter future, one of the first organizations that comes to mind is Pathways2Possibilities, an organization providing interactive career exploration experiences for 8th graders. Recently, we had the opportunity to sponsor this year’s YMCA Banquet, where Karen Sock, co-founder of P2P, was the distinguished honoree. We’re grateful to be part of this event and to support organizations like the YMCA and P2P. #communitybank #localbank #communitybanking

Meet Remi Brown, our Retail Bank Manager at Merchants & Marine Bank! Remi brings over seven years of banking experience and has been with MMB for the past six months. What makes working at a community bank special? For Remi, it’s all about local connections. “A community bank genuinely invests in the local area, building relationships and tailoring services to meet unique needs. It’s more than banking; it’s about people helping people right where they live.” Helping someone through a challenging time is especially rewarding for her, and it’s something that makes a lasting impact. Outside of work, Remi cherishes time with her family—her husband of seven years and their three-year-old son. Their weekends are often spent out on the water, enjoying the beauty of the Gulf Coast. We’re grateful to have Remi on our team! #communitybank #localbank #communitybanking

One of the highlights of our year is attending the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting. We always enjoy catching up with local business owners, hearing about their growth over the past year, and offering our support as they face new challenges. This year, we’re especially proud to congratulate our CEO, Clayton Legear, for receiving the prestigious Jolly P. McCarty Award for Excellence in Leadership. This annual award, given since 2004, honors leaders who exemplify the qualities of a true servant leader—visionary, listener, promoter of positive change, and champion for the community. We’re grateful for his dedication to economic development, education, and community enhancement in Jackson County. Special thanks as well to our Chief Financial Officer and former Chamber Chairman, Casey Hill, for representing us alongside Clayton at this important event. #communitybank #localbank #communitybanking #leadership #service

At Merchants & Marine Bank, we’re lifelong students, which is why members of our team regularly attend and graduate from the Alabama Banking School.

It’s amazing what we can build when we come together! This fall, we had the pleasure of sponsoring and judging Bright Academy’s “Under the Sea” Lego Competition. Kids and adults alike dove into their creativity, designing colorful, intricate builds that impressed us all. As we look back on Dyslexia Awareness Month, we’re especially proud to support Bright Academy, a school dedicated to empowering children with dyslexia to thrive in learning environments tailored to their needs. Here’s to building brighter futures together—and looking forward to even more impactful moments in the future! 🧩💙 #communitybank #communitybanking #dyslexiaawareness
