It's a two hour meeting. I'd put out M&M's or some other candy and some almonds, plus crackers, cheese, grapes and water (still and sparkling). I could do that for $50 and less than a half hour of work.

I would put out
- Costco bite sized quiche
- Cucumber tea-sandwiches
- Almond flour cookie (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegan)
- grapes
- Water from my RO filter with lemon slices
- Masala chai

Less than $25, less than 1/2 hour of work. Its only 8-10 ladies and its not a meal.

Put out a plate of nice cookies and call it a day.

I'm in the camp of not every gathering needs food but if you really need to put something out make it simple.

Really depends on the group.

You like them and want to create a cohesive and friendly group dynamic - feed them.

You don't like them too much and are hosting the meeting under duress - put a bowl of m&m or not.

Every time outsiders come to your house, you are the host. Even if a handyman comes to your house, you should ask them if they want water or coffee. This shows your upbringing and breeding.

Do better. You are not giving alms to bag ladies. Probably these community members are your peers.

Coffee, tea
Water, seltzer
Small bags of skinny pop, pretzels, and/or trail mix
Mixed fruit

Just goes to show different people have different preferences. Even if I were starving I’d not be thrilled with this list of flavorless, bland snacks.

That's fine. It's not a lunch. Don't show up starving. Drink a water and move on with your day.
