Meet Kelly Timmons


Kelly Timmons lives with her husband, Paul, along St Helena Sound in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Food is an essential part of Lowcountry culture, as well as Kelly’s life experience.

In 2023, Kelly was a recipient of the Susan M. Daniels Award, which was established to honor those who are making a significant difference in the lives of youth and adults with disabilities through mentoring, and to raise awareness about the importance of mentoring individuals with disabilities.

For ten years Kelly owned and operated a food manufacturing company where she brought over thirty different brandlines to hundreds of retail locations. Food sovereignty and security are deeply connected to Kelly’s Southern, Lowcountry heritage.

Kelly identifies as a person with a disability and has long mentored, employed and advocated with women and girls with disabilities. She believes that the best way to honor the history of the disability rights movement is to empower its rising leaders.
