How to feed 20 teens affordably—not pizza or homemade?

[Anonymous]

I signed up to feed my teenage kid’s activity group one night this week. Other parents have signed up to do pizza. Normally I’d do something homemade (and I still could!) but this is a work night and I’ll be in the office all day. And it’s 20 kids! Any thoughts on something I could order and drop off that wouldn’t cost over $300? Thanks!

This is why people do pizza. Most anything else to feed 20 teens will be in that $300 range.

This may be what I end up doing. I was thinking homemade mac and cheese but this would be easier.

I am doing it. I’m looking for advice on ways to make it doable and not pizza.
