✨ Black History Month Spotlight ✨

All month long, we’re highlighting and celebrating the incredible individuals who make a difference across our Food & Nutrition Services department — sharing their stories and impact. Today we’re proud to spotlight Mia Donley!

Mia Donley
Training and Marketing Specialist, FNS
Almost 2 years with FCPS

For Mia, Black History Month is a celebration of history, people, contributions, and community. It’s about honoring those who came before us, recognizing those who are here with us now, remembering those who are no longer with us, and uplifting those who will continue to go beyond us.

One of Mia’s favorite things to share is how deeply Black history and culture have shaped food in the U.S. and around the world. From cooking styles and ingredients to recipes and traditions at the table, the richness of Black culture can be experienced through food in so many ways.

Food connects us. It tells stories. It carries tradition. And it reminds us that we are more connected than we may realize.

Thank you, Mia, for helping us see the power of culture, community, and connection through food. ❤️

✨Black History Month Staff Spotlight ✨

Meet Tim Jones, Executive Chef at the FNS Central Office! 👨🏾‍🍳

Tim has been part of the FCPS Food & Nutrition Services family for a little over a year, bringing creativity, passion, and heart to everything he does. His favorite part of the job? Getting to be creative and connecting with students through food and meaningful experiences.

For Tim, Black History Month is a time to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black leaders who paved the way, while reflecting on the responsibility to lead with integrity and purpose. Professionally, it reinforces his commitment to equity, inclusion, and creating spaces where everyone feels valued and respected — not just this month, but all year long.

💬 His message to students:
“Learn from the stories and achievements of those who came before us. By honoring Black history and lifting each other up, we build stronger communities rooted in dignity, opportunity, and unity.”

Thank you, Chef Tim, for your leadership and the positive impact you make every day! ❤️
