At one time some of the Rec Centers would have puzzles laid out on tables for anyone to walk up and work on, but Covid might have ended that.
FYI .. take them to the Silver Lake Rec center .. in Silver Lake by the golf course there is a puzzle room, residents can visit, borrow and return .. great place for those rainy days and cognitive alertness..

You also take to the Christain Care Center located at First Baptist Church in Leesburg right on 27 south, they have children and families that are housed there until they can get back on their feet. If in doubt take a tour and see all the wonderful help that is provided to everyone in need.

Plus the Thrift Store/owned and operated by FBC on 441 just east of 27 at the split ..
