I would assume that from a libertarian perspective, the rights of the sandwich giver and reciever would trump those of officials upset about appearances.
The rights of the citizens of the municipality trump the rights of the homlessness activists from out-of-town, who have been careful to keep their soup kitchen mobile to avoid the need for zoning compliance. They were already busted once for an unpermitted gathering of more than 25, which it seems they circumvented somehow; presumably by marshalling their clientele in groups smaller than 25, which must be a real cat-herding exercise.

Nobody's been hassled for giving away a sandwich one-on-one.
