Op Shop

RangeCare’s Op Shop - Where everything old is new again

 

Opening an op shop was an important step for our community-based, not-for-profit organisation which has experienced significant changes in government funding since 2015.

The funds raised through op shop sales are directed back to providing quality care and support to people along the Blackall Range and surrounding areas so that they can continue to live independently in their homes longer.

Donations of items can be taken directly to the shop at The Old School House at 17 Obi Obi Road, Mapleton.

 

RangeCare relies on the generosity of the local community to donate quality, pre-loved clothing, shoes, bric-a-brac, household items, small furniture items, and children’s toys.

What Our Clients Say...

It is more than three years since we joined Rangecare and I want to thank everyone who does something for us. The people who answer the phone and those who deliver meals and take us to Doctors etc. You treat us with dignity, with a happy smile on your faces. We appreciate everything you do for us. The Rangecare Family make life so much easier especially with us not having family close by. We look forward to hearing the doorbell and seeing you. You are here for us on good days and the bad days. We should tell you more often and not take you for granted. 
So a big THANK YOU to everyone from us both.

Ray & Shirley
