Have you heard the fantastic news? WECO, the Northeast's most-beloved meal delivery service, is now cooking for Northern Virginia!
You can consider us your school night secret weapon, cooking up delicious, fully prepared meals that go from fridge to fork in under 10 minutes. That’s less time than it takes to find that missing homework! <a href="https://wecohospitality.com/pages/back-to-school?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=event&amp;utm_campaign=local_launch&amp;utm_content=DMV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Peek at your local menu here!</a>
WECO isn't like other meal delivery companies you've tried (no single-serving plastic trays or shrink-wrapped sadness here). Our meals are freshly-made, family-friendly feasts that’ll have everyone asking for seconds (and thirds)!
We’re all about those local vibes, too. Our seasonal produce and pasture-raised meats are sourced from independent farmers who are as obsessed with ethical and sustainable practices as we are. It’s not just the right thing to do—it’s the secret ingredient to what makes WECO food crazy delicious.
And we’ve got the whole school day covered! From breakfast to lunch to dinner, WECO’s menu is packed with family-approved goodness that even your pickiest eaters will love. No more mealtime battles—just happy, full bellies.
Hayley, one of our long-time customers, says it best: “We love WECO. This time of year is hard. Between juggling running my business with the kid's homework and after school activities I am exhausted at the end of the day. Knowing I can put a delicious, healthy dinner on the table without thinking about grocery shopping and cooking is a lifesaver."
We would love to cook for you! Just use code BACKTOBUSY30 for $30 off your first order of $100 or more. (Expires 9/15/24).
