The Keeper Group pairs 40 recipients with 80 volunteers at a 1:2 ratio to visit the homes of isolated single-person households who are not receiving care services, checking on their well-being and delivering donated goods.

The Keeper Group acts as a reliable friend to the marginalized by protecting the health and safety of vulnerable groups in the community, while also conducting activities to prevent solitary deaths and other risks.

One recipient expressed gratitude, saying, "No one ever visits our home, but they come directly to check on me and keep me company, so I look forward to the next time we meet."

Kim Soon-ho, the county governor, said, "I sincerely thank the Neighborhood Safety Keeper Group for being a strong shield for the marginalized, and I will do my best to make Gurye a place without any blind spots in care."
