Operation Chow Line (OCL) is a community-based, upstream suicide prevention strategy for veterans and military families living in rural South Dakota. The program addresses food insecurity by hosting free community meals. Local businesses help sponsor the events, and relevant local, state, and federal resources are present to support early engagement and access to support. These gatherings reduce isolation and increase access to support.
