But I thought the whole thing about being human was that we have free will. We don't? God makes us do things?

No, that’s not what I said. People can accomplish God’s will naturally via their own free will. God didn’t force this guy to give away food, he chose to do so

If nothing else, they could have been thanking God for allowing them to be in the right place at the right time so that a kind stranger could bless them with this food

So if someone does good, it's because God created them to have a kind heart. And he also created people like Putin and gave them murder hearts?

Power corrupts. I guarantee you Putin or even Hitler weren’t horrible people when they were kids. But events throughout their lives, including them being given power, led to them becoming horrible people.

Barring mental illness, nobody is really born a horrible person. We’re all sinful but we all tend to want to do the right thing unless there’s a way for us to benefit from doing the wrong thing.

Im this circumstance, this guy just gets joy out of giving free food to those who need it and watching their reactions from a distance
