Do not give tents directly to people in Fremont, near San Francisco. Give them to the charitable organizations, or you may face fines and arrest. The Fremont City Council has decided that homeless people aren't people, don't deserve help, and it is a crime to try to help them with any camping supplies.

I dropped my tent. No idea what happened to it. Maybe it was stolen. I won't be pressing charges.

Be sure to hang onto your bags of new socks and underwear, if you accidentally dropped those someone might get ahold of them and feel human comfort and hygiene and we wouldn't want THAT getting out into the population.

Or do it anyway while knowing the risks, and publicize any consequences you face as much as possible. Civil disobedience is highly effective.
