Some of you may have noticed a few of those little round badges around the dining area—the ones that say “Tap your phone here.” You’ll see them on the main counter and even on the beverage fridge. If you’ve been curious about what they’re for, here’s the scoop.

They’re called Tithely Taps, and they’re basically a easy, tap-and-go way to donate to our Food and Beverages fund. Just tap your phone on one of the badges, and it’ll instantly take you to our online giving page with the Food & Beverages fund already selected. From there, you can make a donation in just a few seconds.

To use them, your phone just needs to have NFC (Near Field Communication) turned on. Most phones—both iPhones and Android devices—already support this. If it’s not on, you can usually enable it in your settings with just a couple taps.

And if you already have our Mobile Giving App, you can absolutely donate through that too! Use whichever option is easier and more convenient for you. The idea is simply to give you quick, flexible ways to support the food, snacks, drinks, and treats we all enjoy.

Next time you’re grabbing something from the counter or fridge, feel free to give one of the badges a try!
