It depends on state and local law where the event is to be held.  For 
instance, in the county where I live, you must take a class and get a 
license to sell food.  However, if you're cooking a feast, as it is for 
a non-profit group, you don't need to do anything.  However, in the next 
county over, you must get a one-time license and be inspected by the 
county even to do a feast.  I suggest you check with your local county 
government, possibly a department of health, to find out what their 
requirements are.
