Help me spend $100 at Whole Foods

I am hosting a Family Wellness Night this Wednesday evening at our school. We are expecting about 100 people- adults and kids. Our local Whole Foods have me a $100 gift card as an in-kind donation. We are serving light snacks. So far I already have:

Water bottles

Plates/forks/napkins

Sliced green peppers

String cheese

We always have a TON of left-over fresh fruit from breakfast and lunch (likely apples and oranges this week) so we will put those out as well.

Should I just get hummus, a couple different creamy dips and maybe some whole wheat pita bread? Pretzels? I know $100 doesn't go far at Whole Foods. Needs to be nut free, snack food, healthy...

Ideas?

Thanks!

Wellness Night...I think I have it. Buy $20.00 worth of whole wheat crackers and spend the rest on beer for you to drink at home when it's over with.

Our crappy Whole Foods is like the only one in MA that does NOT carry alcohol :sniff:

I love the roasted red pepper hummus - Cedarlane? Their own (365) brand of pita chips are yummy to have with it. 365 pretzels are good too. Their prices really aren't that bad if you a) look for sales, b) use coupons from their app or a paper coupon flyer that you can get in-store, and c) don't buy a lot of pre-prepared stuff.

I wouldn't do dip at all- double dippers and all.

Fruit, cheese, water sounds fine.
