 A brief title and one-line description of your project.
 
 ## Project Proposal
 
 Complete the following guiding statements to define the purpose and audience for your participation tool:
 
-1. **The specific participants/community I want to engage are...**
+1. **The specific participants/community I want to engage are members of the Penn community, specifically those who may be food insecure.  **
    <!-- Describe the specific participants or community members you want to invite to participate. Be more specific than "the general public". -->
 
-2. **The contributions/input I am inviting them to make are...**
+2. **The contributions/input I am inviting them to make are adding events, locations, and places that are giving out free food. 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. An event may be wrapping up and you happen to walk by as they try and get rid of the remaining food. With this application, you'd be able to better see where there is leftover food or events with free food on campus. **
    <!-- Describe what data, annotations, suggestions, or reports participants will contribute. -->
 
-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. They will also be able to benefit by seeing others' free food reportings. This will specfiically be helpful to students who are food-insecure or maybe just need a quick bite on campus. **
    <!-- Explain how the participants themselves benefit from taking part. -->
 
-4. **The users that will use the collected data are...**
+4. **The users that will use the collected data are Penn community members like students and staff. In addition, I envision how clubs and other organizations around campus can use this application to incentive participation. For instance, a club may want to attract new members. Adding a ping for free pizza if you come to the general body meeting may cause more people to show up. Another example would be the free fresh produce giveway for grad students every Thursdays. There are many reoccuring events that involve free food that can be advertised in a centralized location on this application. **
    <!-- Identify who will use the resulting data (these could be the same as the contributors, or a different group such as planners, organizers, or dispatchers). -->
 
-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. **
    <!-- (Optional, if the users of the data are different from the participants contributing the input) Explain how the data will help those users make decisions or take action. -->
