WLS Spartan Scrip Central is up and running, we have experienced a 100% increase in participation in one week - don't be left out! Scrip is a win-win for both you and WLS. Here is how it works - you purchase gift cards from various retailers at face value and WLS gets a percentage back from the sale. Many of the card choices are purchases you would make anyway so what a great way to shop and support WLS at the same time! Choose from options that include restaurants, gasoline, pharmacies, department stores, sporting goods and so much more!
