Hi everyone :)

In regards to food that have been offered to the deities from a temple or from your personal shrine, is it OK to give/share these food with people of different religions?

I can't give an official reply, but personally, I'd say that it is not only ok, it is great!
That might be the only affinity to Buddhism they will build in this lifetime.

I also think that it is a great idea. Increase good merits with others!

The food offered to the deities will be blessed.

It is considered fortunate to be able to eat these types
of food.
