I had a print shop scan some stuff for a few bucks per photo once. It wasn’t a place that normally did that kind of walk-in business, but they had the equipment, and didn’t seem to mind. Then I bought a 36-bit, 600-dpi scanner for $100. I don’t use it a lot now, but it’s convenient.  
Office supply stores may be prepared to do it, but I know Office Max charges more than I’d want to pay. That’s why I just bought a scanner from 'em–it was MUCH cheaper. Shop around, ask people who might have the equipment to do it but aren’t advertising it, find a friend who’ll do it for nothing…  
Heck, you could send 'em to me–my email’s on here somewhere–I’d charge you a couple bucks a photo, though. 🙂 _Is business._
