Option 2 - Host a virtual gift card drive

This option allows for more flexibility and makes it easier for those who may not have the time to get to a store to purchase gift cards. The steps are similar to option one, but instead of donating physical cards, those making a donation would donate a monetary amount and choose the gift card type they would like their dollars to go towards.
