Bank First donates $500K for dementia care community

Manitowoc, Wis.-based Bank First donated $500,000 to support the development of local dementia care community Support Livasu Village. 

The village is reportedly modeled after the internationally recognized Hogeweyk village in the Netherlands. Support Livasu Village will include 124 individually owned homes alongside a community center with a public restaurant, theater and grocery store. 

“As a community-focused bank, we’re proud to support initiatives that have a profound and lasting impact,” said Bank First CEO Mike Molepske. “The Livasu Village project is groundbreaking, and we fully recognize the critical importance of its mission.”
