Pigeons eat pretty much anything, mainly seeds and bugs and any vegetable/fruit type food.
The pigeons will more than likely survive, the mother may have a bit of a problem with feeding the chicks all by herself but she should be alright. Normally the male will take turns sitting on the eggs and feeding the chicks.
If you want to help, you may leave a pile of twigs or other nesting material nearby along with some seed to help the mother. There is a chance she may starve as they are very dedicated and will stay sitting on their eggs until their mate returns. She should be fine though.
