Illegal to Feed Homeless in Parks

Not cheap...assuming by "Succo's house" you mean the place FNB press releases list as Ms. Succo's phone number...it's in Reno. Her brother's number geolocates to a residential area near McCarran International....miles away from the park in question.

I'm sure "Food Not Bombs" would welcome your cash contributions, so "if I were in the area" isn't a consideration. Whether they'd abide by your conditions for using the money or not I don't know. Wikipedia describes them as an anarchist organization; I rather suspect that they are at least partially motivated by a desire for publicity. Apparently the FNB deal is they "rescue" vegan-compliant food from being discarded and offer it to all comers...along with some form of political promotion in the form of brouchures/broadsides etc. You could almost call it "faith-based social services", inasmuch as they seem to not believe in war or meat.

Somehow I don't think there's a huge demand for this food amongst the non-indigent.
