I don't know much about it, but I signed up while living in Amsterdam, and got to host someone who had biked from Lille in France across Belgium to Amsterdam in a few days—and was headed to North Cape. She was hoping to use WarmShowers as much as possible on the way, but had brought some camping equipment. Weary travellers need to shower, sleep, and eat, so there's a custom of hosts providing some kind of food. But obviously that's up to the host. I cooked something simple with rice and beans and vegetables and it was very appreciated.
