30/30 Project

30/30 Project

Highlights the correlation between at-home hunger and literacy deficiencies.

Sixty-seven percent of students in the Sioux City Community School District utilize the free and reduced price lunch program, meaning over 10,000 of Sioux City’s children are faced with food insecurity at home. This deficiency correlates directly to literacy rates as low-income students hear up to 30 million fewer words than their classmates before entering kindergarten. This word gap is a huge hurdle for students as they are learning to read and write.
