Keeping It Local
The Community Bank Difference is the gold standard for what it means to provide outstanding support to our communities. That’s why at First Federal Bank of Wisconsin, we are going outside of the products and services we provide to share with you the impact your neighbors are making in Southeastern Wisconsin. On the Keeping it Local podcast, we will be connecting you with local businesses, nonprofits, and community members who share unique perspectives that inspire and educate you on the Community Bank Difference.

Operation Finally Home: A Hero’s Welcome
Our military veterans give us so much, selflessly volunteering their precious time, energy, and strength to serve our country. Yet, when they return home from service, they’re often left feeling underappreciated and have to face difficult hardships. Reassimilating into normal life can be tough — whether it’s finding a fulfilling career, coping with PTSD, or just readjusting their state of mind, veterans and their families often feel like they’re going about it alone.
That’s where Operation Finally Home (OFH) comes in. Operation Finally Home is a program that provides custom-built homes for veterans and their families, giving that home to them mortgage-free. The program was specifically created for veterans who had their time in service cut short because of injury. This uplifting gift to our heroes and their families is a fantastic way to show that they’re truly cared for when they return home.
On this episode, we’ll talk to Michael Berry (VP of Treasury Management, First Federal Bank of Wisconsin) and David Belman (President, Belman Homes) about Operation Finally Home. You’ll learn about how OFH was started, the ways the community supports the program, the positive impacts it’s had on recipient families, and more.
We’re truly proud to partner with this organization, and hope you enjoy learning about the ways it makes a profound impact in our local community.
