What Makes SPARK Different?

The SPARK Gift Card isn’t just another gift card, it’s a smart way to support the Holdrege economy.

Unlike old Chamber Checks, SPARK Cards are digital-first and fully trackable. That means every time a card is purchased or spent, we know how much was used, when, and where. It’s a better system for local businesses and shoppers alike. No more guessing if a check was lost or sitting in a drawer. With SPARK, every dollar can be accounted for and counted on.

Another thing to know? The Chamber doesn’t earn a profit from this program. There’s no percentage cut or hidden benefit. We actually invest thousands of dollars each year to run it, thanks to sponsors and community support.

SPARK works because it’s simple and flexible. You can grab groceries, treat your dog, grab lunch, get a haircut, pick up a gift, or get your oil changed without leaving town. That’s the kind of local convenience and variety that makes a difference.

Cards cost just $1 to activate, and every cent after that stays in our community. It’s easy to give, easy to spend, and easy to feel good about.
