Each month in 2014, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery bartenders took their tips and gave them to a good cause. More than $29,500 was donated to a dozen local nonprofit groups throughout the year.

This was the first time for tip donations, but Dogfish Head's Mark Carter said he expects it won't be the last. "We're really looking at how we can help right in our backyard," he said. "It's a pretty cool thing."

The following organizations benefited from the donations: Meals on Wheels, Toys for Tots, Milton Farmers Market, Milton Garden Club, MERR, Milton Lions Club train project, Friends of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Milton Historical Society, Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park, Big Brothers Big Sisters of DE, VSA Delaware and Milton Theatre.
