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.

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.

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.
