Is this a stop on some kind of underground railroad?
If so, brown bag it with some apples and protein bars, maybe some military MREs and cyanide capsules in case of capture.

I think your "guests" were rude! For several people to invite themselves to "stop by" to use your bathroom and to say hello and then expecting a free meal? If they were that hungry they should have taken you out to dinner with them instead of insulting your hospitality.
I would have felt so used.
Just my take.

I agree, they shouldn't expect a meal to be served at their "meeting point". They would probably have a meal stop planned for when they all meet up and get on their way.
Just put some refreshments out, and they can take it or leave it.

maybe a box of donuts and bottled water
do you mean bottled herbal tea or hot tea
I wouldn't do either bananas or yogurt because I know I wouldn't want that unless this is early morning
packaged cookies or small bags of potato chips
bagels and cream cheese
I would ask one of the people you know that is coming
What are they doing for these 5 days?
that is very nice of you to do that

@Stelladorable - with no disrespect at all to the OP who wanted to be kind to her guests, your response about the Underground Railroad gave me the biggest laugh I've had in a long time. Priceless.

I don't understand the 'jigsaw puzzle'. Time consuming, and too much concentration.
Better to just relax, chat, etc. Maybe it will be relaxing time for them to keep in contact with their families, friends via their phones, ipads, or whatever else is out there.
Wishing them all (and O/P) good luck and good adventures.

@Stelladorable - I more than chuckled. I laughed so hard I almost started wheezing. Just started laughing again reading it again. Really, really witty.
