Wayne, go find a different way to do charitable work. I'd feel a bit funny about working with families like you've described and would start a different tradition immediately. I know you'd like to use this as a vehicle to impress positive values and provide good experiences for your kids, but, this clearly sends the wrong message.
I've been in the habit of contributing sandwich materials and helping make sandwiches at one of the local "soup kitchens" for distribution to the local homeless. I also give a lot of money to this cause. I don't give money to sidewalk beggars, especially since I've seen them "commuting" on the bus to get to their favorite spot for their daily begging "job."
