All meals are delivered to clients by volunteers.

We cater for special dietary needs including gluten free, vegetarian, diabetes, low salt, dairy free, soft textured and puree meals and more.
Frozen Meals
We have 120+ varieties of frozen meals. Frozen meals can be purchased directly from the offices in either Cowra or Grenfell or can be delivered as arranged. Weekly or fortnightly deliveries are made to all smaller towns and villages if required.
This is a particularly useful frozen food service for clients who require more flexibility, providing a wider variety and options such as being able to buy a weekly or fortnight’s supply. Meals are prepared at Central Food Service in Bathurst, Farm Door, Wagga Wagga and other quality food producers.
They can be heated in the microwave or placed in an oven proof dish and have the instructions on the lid. There is a huge range of main and mini/petite meals, including beef, lamb, pork, chicken, roasts, seafood and vegetarian meals.
There is also a wonderful range of desserts, which can be suitable for diabetics. We also offer a delicious range of soups, croissants and snacks.
