State mental hospitals sometimes take puzzles.

Nice idea, but probably not. Expect for the one poster that will say their 90 -year old mother in a nursery home could do it in an hour, most residents couldn't complete 1000 piece puzzle.

I'd take to your work with a free note or donate. Lots of people are willing to risk it not having all the pieces or use for other purpose

This is by far the #1 complaint in all the puzzle reviews I have seen: missing pieces. I’d put a note on the box.

just donate them. it is not the end of the world if a puzzle is missing a piece. yes it is annoying, but not devastating.

they often have puzzles in hospital waiting rooms to give people something to do while they are sitting there waiting, probably not anymore though.

Google your nearest nursing homes. I'm sure they'd like to have it.

I do not do puzzles 🧩 so am only venturing out a guess on this - but I would think if I spent so much time assembling a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle, I would want every single piece or it would not be worth my while.

But in case I am the only one who feels this way > I see some ads for this on my local NextDoor app.

This is out in Loudoun, but the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter takes puzzles and games for their thrift shop. Our local hospice thrift shop takes them too.

During the pandemic we started doing puzzles and now have about 10 we want to get rid of. Most have all the pieces but a few are missing one piece. Will Goodwill take them if we note a piece is missing? Area nursing homes? Any ideas?
