I donated all of ours to our local library. It's nice to see them being used!

Our library has a few puzzles around for kids to pull out.

My guess is the pieces would be a deterrent to the library

My DCPS teachers love when I go through my yearly purge. We have a LOT of educational toys, so it didn't stop with PS. We also donated about 150 books to the school library.
I would imagine public libraries will accept them as well.

Not to be provocative, but does the Ashburton PEP program really need donations? I imagine they have a healthy budget. Not to be controversial, I am asking out of curiosity as I don't want to donate to places that don't need my used toys.
Does anybody have information on dropping them off to the NIH -- where and when they accept them? Are they in need?

I have about 20 Melissa & Doug puzzles in great condition that I want to give away to an organization in need.
Does anybody have any suggestions of schools or organizations that could put them to good use and relatively easy to drop off?
I am in Bethesda, Maryland.
Thanks for any advice. I am not interested in Goodwill or other places that might resell them if possible.
Homeless shelter, children's hospital....
