Not yet, just wait for the next "freeloader" scare.
I've seen more than a couple "man arrested for giving out free food" stories in my time. I suppose if the man is giving out salmonella you gotta stop it, but that's usually not what's happening.
everybody's favorite radical pacifist terrorist organization has procedures for confounding the cops while they feed people.
As someone who did food safety with a health department there certainly is no arresting going on over such food service. At most a health inspector notifies them of the problems and provides guidance on requirements of serving food publicly.
But I think every example I remember of this happening in a rural town: it is a trespass charge filed as a complaint from a property or business owner that involves police.
It was all over the news 3 and a half years ago. Even giving sealed bottles of water to people waiting in line to vote is illegal.
Freedom!
My local poling station was cool with people leaving the water, stacked near where the line formed, with a take one free sign, before it opened for voters
