ADRA is distributing food kits to more 1,700 Colombian families who have been deported from Venezuela back to Colombia after Venezuela closed the border in August of this year.

Each food kit is enough to sustain a family of five for two weeks, and includes staples such as rice, beans, corn flour, vegetable oil, sugar, and iodized salt.

This food is vital to families who are struggling without jobs, social support systems, and some without shelter.
