Need food/snack ideas for an event with 100 people (self.frugal)

I'm hosting a networking event, and I managed to snag a free venue that fits all of us. Problem is, it's not a bar. No food or water provided.

My budget is honestly as close to nothing as I can get it, but I also want to provide something to people.

For water, my only idea is to get bottles od water. A water cooler would be nice, but those are expensive.

It'd be nice to have snacks too. I could just get bags of chips, maybe cookies, but I don't know how much I need to cover ~100 people. If anyone has ideas or experience, please let me know :)

Why don't you make it a potluck? Perhaps you can buy water cans which hold 20 litres of water and use a cheap water dispenser from Amazon. They fit in the cap of the water can. It is around 5 dollars. The manual ones would be even cheaper. Also paper cups. Lots of them 😄
