Charities that help Kids: Cure Search, Shriners, Make a Wish, St Judes (you said u didnt like the childrens hospitals but Danny Thomas did it right). Look up Fisher House - you might change your mind on support for Veterans.
Locally, a former work colleague told me about Operation Shoebox - procure and distribute necessities and niceties to active duty military personnel. After learning about it, I happened to run across a young veteran who had been wounded in Afghanistan - he couldnt stop praising the value of the mail and goods he received (indicated you really appreciate a snickers bar, a toothbrush and "real toilet paper"). They accept donations and also have a regular "work session" that always needs volunteers - Lake Miona - I believe.
