The Zeeland Board of Public Works is bringing back its annual Holiday Power Dollars program.
The tradition began more than 30 years ago to encourage homeowners to decorate the exterior of their homes.
“The Holiday Power Dollars program is quite unique,” BPW General Manager Andrew Boatright said. “In short, the program provides extra holiday cheer all while boosting our local businesses.”
Starting Monday and continuing through Dec. 12, BPW residential electric customers can claim $15 in free Holiday Power Dollars by visiting zeelandbpw. com. These Holiday Power Dollars are redeemable at participating local businesses, where merchants receive 100 percent of the value of each certificate used, giving small businesses in Zeeland a holiday-season boost.
“What started as a way to offset the cost of lighting life-sized Christmas yard cards — a long-standing Zeeland tradition — has turned into so much more and brought so much joy to this town we love,” Boatright said.
In addition, BPW is hosting a holiday home decorating contest on Facebook. Residents can submit photos of their outdoor decorations for a chance to win additional Holiday Power Dollar certificates. Rules and regulations apply; see the BPW website at zeelandbpw.com/powerdollars for more details.
Holiday Power Dollars may be spent at participating businesses through Jan. 31, 2026. For more information, visit zeelandbpw.com/powerdollars.
