The Little Free Library movement has inspired people to create free public activities and opportunities for strangers, such as art galleries, dog stick libraries, and even a bocce court.
You can think of these expansions of the Little Free Library movement as a Sidewalk Joy trend. People feel inspired to bring joy to passersby who need free experiences that help us feel like we're part of communities.
Portland, Oregon goes all out on Sidewalk Joy. You can follow a map to walk through the city and find opportunities to take and share toy cars, jigsaw puzzles, toy dinosaurs, or play miniature golf.

I wouldn't think this would be an effective way to spread most germs. That happens more in high-traffic areas (e.g. door handles in offices), while something like this would be low-traffic, giving them time to die off. On surfaces, germ survival is: "typically, it's more like a few hours".
