The Salvation Army will open online registration for its 2026 Angel Tree program Sept. 21 through Sept. 25 for families in Manatee County.
Registration will be completed online at saangeltree.org, and no appointment is required. Applicants must provide a valid email address and phone number. Approval information and pickup tickets will be sent by email, so applicants are encouraged to check their accounts regularly.
Families will need to upload photo identification for all adults, birth certificates for all children and proof of a Manatee County address. Applicants who are not the child’s birth parent must provide legal documentation of guardianship.
Additional required documents include verification of any government benefits and proof of all household income and expenses for the previous four weeks.
Applicants who need to make changes after submitting their information should use the link provided in their confirmation email rather than starting a new application.
The Salvation Army has also provided the registration information in Spanish. Families needing additional information may contact the organization at 941-748-5110 or visit its Bradenton website.
