Many Penn students already share these findings in dedicated "Free Food Around Campus" group chats. However, if you're not in one of these message forums, it can be difficult to find instances of free food on campus unless you get lucky.

With this application, you'd be able to better see where there is leftover food or events with free food on campus. ** -3. **The participants will benefit from contributing their input by...** +3. **The participants will benefit from contributing their input by sharing where they found free food.

There are many reoccuring events that involve free food that can be advertised in a centralized location on this application. ** -5. **The collected data will benefit those users by...** +5. **The collected data will benefit those users by allowing them to share instances of free food, see where they might be able to get free food, and view other resources in a centralized place. ** ## Overview
