RangeCare and Nambour & District Care have joined forces with The Barn on Flaxton and Le Coq Bressan (Le Relais Bressan) Flaxton to deliver restaurant quality meals straight to people’s doors. 

The Barn on Flaxton part-owner Danielle Birks said the joint effort was the brainchild of newly appointed Range Care CEO Greg Mannion. “Greg was having his regular coffee here and he noticed what we were doing with our heat and eat meals for those that can’t get out and about and he must have had a brainwave,” said Danielle. “He took the idea and ran with it.” 

Thierry Clerc from Le Coq Bressan  said the idea was mutually beneficial. “Range Care send us the orders. We prepare the meals. Then they come and collect and deliver the meals,” he said. 

One happy customer at Le Coq Bressan said her friend had recommended the Duck and Orange Sauce. “My friend said it was so good she was just about slurping the juice from the pate,” the customer said. 

Meals start at $10 and can be ordered online or via the phone. 

Thierry said his pre-packed meals would now become a regular offering, irrespective of Coronavirus.  Please visit www.rangecare.org.au or give RangeCare a call on 07 5445 7044 to find out more.
