The Louisiana Department of

WeSave is a savings program that will
offer state employees discounts at a variety of businesses throughout the
state. The program will be available to
all state active and retired employees, classified or unclassified, at no cost
to either the employee or the state. For
more information about WeSave please visit their

WeSave representatives are currently contacting businesses
throughout the state to contract with them to participate in the WeSave program.
Although national and regional merchants will offer discounts to state
