This was one thing I saw at Feed My Starving Children while volunteering there. By rules on food handling from the FDA, everyone is supposed to wear hair nets while working with the food. However, the hand sanitizer was new to me. The check-in wasn't through a computer like it was before, when I volunteered years prior to COVID. People had to go up and say the group they were with, and the check-in was next to the hand sanitizer and hair net station. Due to the facility handling food, hand washing stations were also in the building, but many of these precautions aren't COVID related so much as abiding by FDA guidelines.
