They have already gone to Puzzles on Wheels. One of the replies to my request gave me the link, I emailed them, got an immediate reply, liked what I heard and the puzzles are gone. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to give me great suggestions.

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.

My 91 yo mother loves jigsaw puzzles. After she completes them, we pass them on to her friend. I can pick them up if you want to get rid of them.

Freedom Pointe, a senior living community across the street from the villages hospital, would love to have some of those puzzles. They have many older residents who spend hours working on them.

My wife would love to have some new puzzles. She can pickup today if you wish.

I would donate them to Puzzles on Wheels. It’s a wonderful service started by a Billager during the pandemic. She maintains excellent quality puzzles and has many volunteers that deliver & pick up to Villagers homes. Puzzles on Wheels in The Villages, Florida

The puzzles have gone to Puzzles on Wheels, but maybe my post gave others who have puzzles the opportunity to get rid of theirs.

Silver Lake has a lending library of puzzles. Unfortunately, it is closed until 4/4/22.
I've heard Lake Miona also has a puzzle library but I can't vouch for that.

If you want, you could drop them at my house until Silver Lake reopens and I will take them over.

Senior living center is also a good idea.

The Citrus County Libraries would love to have your puzzles. You'd have to bring them to any of our libraries. They will be resold at our mega sales.
