For our household of two, getting one meat order ($20) and one produce order ($15) per month provides us about two weeks of fresh, high-quality groceries when supplemented with pantry staples like rice, onions, butter, etc. The program has made a huge difference in my grocery budget. Another aspect of the program that I really enjoy is the ease of mind and freedom from decision making. I like the surprise of each month's basket, and learning new recipes (WECAN always provides recipe suggestions, alongside a cost comparison in a flyer with every order) and incorporating a new ingredient. It's the appeal of something like Hello Fresh, where you get rid of the guesswork and are left with good, healthy meals! And it is community run, so even better!

The only "downside" is the rigidity of when and where to pick it up once a month but once I incorporated it into my schedule, it was no problem. I look forward to picking my order up and seeing what I got each month! I highly recommend this program!

Went to Walmart today to compare the amount of chicken and lean ground beef to what I have received through wecan, it's not worth buying from wecan because I can get the same amount of chicken and lean ground beef for $10 less at Walmart.
Edit: if a bot responds to this review, don't bother reading its response because the bot doesn't compare all the grocery prices, especially the prices of meat when it's on sale.

I've used WECAN for over 5 years! I am still impressed every month by the quality of food items, as well as the community that this organization has created. WECAN is a vital program, especially now more than ever with the costs of food continuing to rise in stores! Keep up the great work!

The WECAN Food Basket Society and its team of incredible volunteers do an outstanding job of fighting food insecurity and connecting Edmonton and area residents with affordable food options! The friendly staff always go the extra mile in connecting folks to their preferred depot of pickup and answering any questions about the online or in-person ordering process. It's so encouraging to see a nonprofit so committed to upholding the dignity of all human beings in providing an affordable way to access healthy food.

I just ate a pear 🍐 from a WECAN order, and it was the most incredibly juicy and delicious pear I have ever had in my life. It also cost less than any pear I could try to buy elsewhere. 5 stars.

I was very happy with my selection of fruits and vegetables as well as with the staff of WeCan who are very friendly, however the meat I recieved was freezer burned and it actually would have been a better deal for me to go to the grocery store to buy it. For this reason I am hesitant to use this service again

Ground meat went out of date, 20 dollars of meat is only worth 15 bucks in the local grocery, I will give up this group buy since my 1st try
