Great idea!
I don't do this in my program but with my own daughters (5,3). Whenever they do a job for me they "earn money for the foodbank". They each have a jar to collect it. We will go together to buy food with it (supplemented by me of course) to donate. They get really excited about putting money in their jar and say it is "for friends that don't have as much food as we do"!
My daycare crew helps me bake Christmas treats that we bring to the fire station.
You could call the activity director at a seniors Centre to see if they would be interested.
You could also have the kids make a whole bunch of Christmas cards that you could take to seniors Centre to hand out.
