Vivery:
Life as it should be
The Vivery technology built by Thierer Family Foundation digitizes access to food for everyone. Our network of food banks and pantries use our centralized find food map and modern digital tools to provide up-to-date information online, so neighbors can effortlessly access the right food, programs and services nearby.
Vivery means to thrive and live your best life.
Our Story
We envision a world where technology eliminates barriers and equalizes access
It all began when entrepreneurs, Nasrin and Mark Thierer, pooled their technology and healthcare experience and success and founded Thierer Family Foundation with a mission to help nonprofits be more impactful through technology.
After years of building technology for food banks and pantries, Thierer Family Foundation created Vivery in collaboration with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to address the very complex and nuanced challenges of the food assistance ecosystem at scale. Vivery is a non-for-profit organization focused on building, enhancing and managing Vivery technology.
In 2021, Vivery was officially launched to bridge the digital gap and equalize access to nutritious food and other food services, for everyone. Vivery received a coveted Chicago Innovation Award for one of the most innovative new tech solutions brought to market in 2022.
Vivery Community, a public charity, fundraises to bring Vivery technology and programs to every food bank and pantry at no cost, and partners with local providers to extend food access in our communities.
