while he was out of town. He did not save any receipts for food. Can he take food expenses off his taxes? Does he have to file a federal income tax for the FEMA jobs?

Maybe for the state. See IRS Form 2106 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i2106.pdf
There are per diem rates for each locale.
Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Does the employer have "an accountable plan" whereby he has proven when he was out of town overnight on their business? If so, they can pay him meal per diem. Read about Accountable Plans per the IRS. He doesn't need receipts for that very reason that it is based on location, time gone, and an allowance factor.
