HOW IT WORKS

Vivery Community fundraises to bring Vivery technology and programs to every food bank and pantry at no cost. We also partner with local providers to help fund innovative food access programs such as online markets, in-home delivery, medically tailored groceries, and more. This means, everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can effortlessly access nutritious food, programs and services nearby.
