The mission is to collect as much food and toys as possible between now and the New Year to help avert as much hunger in the community as possible. Times are tough. Making those times a bit easier is the goal of all of us here at Totman's.

TOYS FOR TOTS – For your convenience, we have an official Toys for Tots drop box in our Belmont office right on Route 3, across from Maritime Farms! We would love to fill it for local kids who may not see anything for Christmas otherwise. Cutoff date is December 17. We are open 8:30 – 5:00 M-F.

Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas.

It’s almost that time again! Each year Totman’s will award at least two scholarships to qualifying Waldo County Technical Center students graduating and continuing their education in the Auto Tech, Auto Body, Diesel Tech or Welding career areas. Every parent who is trying to educate their child in this economic climate knows that every dollar counts and we want to help.

We will award 3-4 scholarships this upcoming year:

• $250 each scholarships for qualifying students who have completed at least one year of Auto Tech, Auto Body, Diesel Technology or Welding Technology at WCTC and who will be pursuing a degree in one of the same fields

Applications will be available on January 1, 2016 on this website and in the WCTC office.

Totman’s has been active in the local community since opening in 1994, primarily in the area of assisting area fire departments with donating vehicles for educating firefighters and emergency responders. Sometimes training sessions are held in different areas and often they are held at Totman’s yard. We are proud to assist our local rescue personnel in ensuring the safe recovery of accident victims in Waldo and Knox Counties. This year Totman’s also awarded two scholarships to Waldo County Technical Center (WCTC) graduates who are continuing their education in the automotive area. Here are some examples of how Totman’s participates in our local community:
