What is WECAN?
The WECAN Food Basket Society is a non-profit organization that purchases bulk meat and produce, which individuals can purchase and pick up from depots across the Edmonton area.
Members pay a small fee to participate, then pay for the number of orders they'd like each month. Items available vary from month to month.
All members of the UofA campus community are welcome to access this program through the Campus Food Bank!
What are the costs?
Yearly Membership Fee $5.00
(from March-April)
Meat Order (3 types of meat) $15.00 per monthly order
Produce Order (3 types of fruit and 3 types of vegetables) $10.00 per monthly order
When are payments due?
Your payment is due by the first Friday of the month for your order to be processed. We are only accepting online payments at this time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Click on the order form above to submit a WECAN order. Our staff will then send you a invoice through PayPal, which you can pay online.
When do I receive my order?
Orders are picked up on the 3rd Thursday of the month from the back, Loading Dock doors of the Students Union Building. Deliveries may be available in special cases.
Any orders that are not picked up that day will be given away to CFB clients, so it is very important to plan ahead to pick up your items before 6pm.
Please see the WECAN 2020 Calendar (PDF at bottom of this page) for the THURSDAY Pick Up dates.
What dietary restrictions can be accommodated?
The only dietary accommodation that the WECAN baskets can adjust for is no pork in the meat orders. Order contents vary based on what produce and meat are available.
