ABACO — Food Banks of Colombia
Backed by: Asociación de Bancos de Alimentos de Colombia (ABACO)
A national network of 26 food banks that receives physical goods at several points and uses the overland corridor through Cúcuta — the surest route to actually reach Venezuela on this whole list.
What it does
You bring food, hygiene or medicines to a food bank in the network; ABACO consolidates and ships, including the overland crossing at the Cúcuta border.
How to take part
- Bring non-perishable food, hygiene or medicines to a point: Bogotá (Calle 19a #32-50), Cúcuta (Diocesan Food Bank, Calle 2AN #1-26, Pescadero), Bucaramanga (Carrera 20 #11-46), Ibagué (Carrera 4 #23-42/44).
- The emergency portal (donahoy.abaco.org.co/emergenciavzla2026) confirms points and contact: donacioneslogistica@abaco.org.co.
- The network came online in stages: confirm your city’s bank is still active.
