The article omits Fort Lauderdale Food Not Bombs, which also fought against food sharing bans.
San Francisco Food Not Bombs showed solidarity with Fort Lauderdale Food Not Bombs when it was resisting new laws criminalizing sharing free food. Here are some reminders:

I’ve been an organizer fighting the criminalization of homelessness here for like 10 years – October 22nd Alliance to End Homelessness – so I knew both Arnold and the FNB peeps during the period that this all was going down. I can tell you that while they both were fighting the same fight to shut down the food sharing ban, they were doing it parallel to one another, not really in unity; to say they were allied is a bit of a stretch. Bottom line the fact that each stood up, in their own very distinct ways, led to the ban being overturned. Truth be told – and I loved Arnold – he wasn’t exactly a big fan of FNB, which is about the only point I ever challenged him on.
