Efforts in Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) and always implementing health protocols are the most effective efforts in stopping the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Washing hands with soap is an implementation of public awareness in breaking the chain of the spread of COVID-19. However, activities outside the home make it difficult for people to find a place to wash their hands. Therefore, the use of hand sanitizer can be a solution to clean hands from bacteria and germs attached. Hand sanitizer is an antiseptic substance that functions as a germ killer by inactivating viruses or germs. Community service activities go through 2 stages, namely the preparation and debriefing stage, then the implementation stage is carried out offline. The raw materials used are 70% alcohol and aloe vera in a ratio of 3:1. The finished hand sanitizers are distributed to government officials, Islamic boarding schools, hamlet heads, and village communities. Based on the results of the activities that have been carried out, it can be concluded that the activities were successfully carried out offline while still complying with health protocols and all participants understood and were able to apply training on making hand sanitizers independently at household scale.
