That depends— is this an imperative?
Imperative: Everyone, bring your own food.

Hi,
The correct and most natural sentence is:
Everyone bring their own food.
Explanation:
"Everyone" is singular, but in modern English, we often use "they/their" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun.
"Your" sounds off here because you're mixing second person ("your") with third person ("everyone").
