6th Annual WMS Food Drive Starts Monday, November 16th
Every year, WMS proudly hosts a Food Drive to support the Pawleys Island Baskervill Food Pantry, and this year, our impact matters more than ever. In 2025, the pantry had on average 500 visits per month. This equates to 6000 visits annually - right here in our own community. Our neighbors need us, and we’re ready to answer that call.
We’re excited to announce our 6th Annual WMS Food Drive, running November 16–December 17, with all donations going directly to the Baskervill Food Pantry at our Winter Assembly on December 18.
To make things even more fun, we’ll be hosting a Warrior Time Class Competition! The class that collects the most donations will earn a pizza party, ice cream party, and extra recess—and, most importantly, the honor of delivering the collected food to the pantry in person, representing WMS and our Warrior spirit.
We’re also thrilled to share that MK Technology and Dependable Service Plumbing and Air have generously agreed to match all donations collected during two of our collection weeks! A huge thank you to them for stepping up in such a big way.
Now, here’s the challenge:
Can your business—or one you know—join in by matching a week’s worth of collected goods? We can also have multiple businesses partner together and split the week’s total. This is truly a community event and we want to get you involved! Together, we can multiply our impact and spread even more kindness this holiday season.
Here’s the Food Drive schedule:
November 16–20, 2026: Matched by MK Technology
November 30–December 4, 2026: Available for match
December 7–11, 2026: Matched by Dependable Service Plumbing and Air
December 14–17, 2026: Available for match (four-day collection week due to our Winter Assembly on December 18)
Students can begin bringing in canned food starting November 16. We’re also accepting monetary donations that will be used to purchase canned goods. Please make checks payable to WMS PTO.
