A few of us at work are trying to raise money for a couple of charities but we have run out of ideas. Need new fresh ones.

Maybe you guys should COMBINE your existing ideas & tie them together. If something is working, just make it better by adding to it to make it fun.
For instance, I like the scavenger hunt idea. If you're selling the Entertainment book (which I've seen people making thousands of dollars on before) combine it with a scavenger hunt - you sure have lots of locations to choose from in there - and you can make any more AND make it fun.
In addition to selling the book, charge an extra fee (say $30) for those who buy it to participte in a scavenger hunt. They can sign up as groups or individuals (& you put groups together).
Have the groups start at the same location & give them a hint on where they need to go (based on a store/restaurant/whatever in the book). Make sure they all bring their books because the answers to all the clues you'd provide would be in there. For instance, "Ready for a quiz? Yes? No? If yes, you're out of luck. If no, I'll guess you'll be near the ____ (pick a place near your local Quizno's)." That of course would take them to your local Quizno's where they could find their next clue of, say, "Roll on over and shake your 'bon bon' at this spicy establishment on XX street," would take people to your local Cinnabon establishment where they'd find their next clue. Etc.
The winning team could split the earnings from the scavenger hunt fees.

Mistletoe is a plant parasite and most anyone would be glad to get rid of all you want to cart off, put a little red bow on, and sell near the holidays. Don't know if you want to wait that long, but I have long thought that is an underutilized resource.

car washes, discount cards (go to businesses around the area and ask them for discounts which will be free advertising for them and great deals for the card holder.), get radio stations to promote for you. talent shows...pretty much getting in contact with all the resources you guys have. put them to good use!

gift wrapping at Christmas time. Get your own supplies and encourage "donations" in lieu of paying a per-package wrapped fee.
