I try to give away frags and older equipment to other local reefers staring out.

The idea of "harvesting" live rock and sending it across the world use to be the only way.

I have been cooking meals and taking them to a women’s shelter not far from home for a few weeks now. They are low on supplies, funds and resources. When I asked how I could help they asked for food. I make 10-15 full dinner meals one or twice a week and coordinate dropping them off.
They do great work.

Cycling my rocks, first time in 15 years doing any of this and @brandon429 has an awesome cycling thread that was really useful and he responded rather quickly with question I had.

I just purchased a reef tank, sump, and all equipment / supplies for the next year from a total stranger. 200+ gallons. "Basically, you just buy the corals," he told me, "and the rest is a gift." Not only did he give me a GREAT price on the corals, but he then arranged with a fellow reefer to hold my livestock for two weeks while my tank resets. He also arranged and paid for a team of 7 professionals to dissemble, transport, and reset up the tank in our home. In addition, he added nearly a year's worth of supplies. AND connected me to a professional reefer in our city as a contact for future advice. I don't know how to adequately thank him!

I buy corals from local hobbyists.

I have given away the bulk of my freshwater stuff to other reefers.. one in particular making a new start.

I clean up parts of the local lake shoreline from those that might not think to do so.

I recently stopped but, used to volunteer to fix things in peoples homes that were unable to or couldnt afford to.. Little fixits..

I've helped quite a few reefers start their journey in reef keeping.
