You said you would be embarrassed to be associated with serving skimpy or packaged food. That has nothing to do with kiruv, it's about reputation and yeah, gaiva.
Yes, food does sell but emes also sells. If it's not your event, I don't think it's your place to take over, but you can kindly offer to help.
I'd be embarrassed because I wouldn't people exploring orthodox Judaism to think these orthodox people are chintzy and have bad events and not come to another one... when I could easily have made spent an hour or two of my time and $25-50 of my money to make some snacks and some cookies and brownies -- and have them have good associations with orthodox Judaism.
Why are you so insistent on derailing this thread and fighting this point to prove your point I have bad character?
