- Clothing for the whole family, including kids for back to school or GED / ESL learning material.
- Kitchen supplies including dishes, plates, microwaves, utensils, knick-knacks, glassware
- Work attire, such as coats, ties, slacks, boots, and shoes.
- Jewelry and Craft supplies.
- Used and re-upholstered furniture for an apartment or house.

All donations of merchandise to it are tax-deductible, and the team may even pick up some bigger items (such as coaches) if their condition is good enough.
Each day, Mohave County St. SVDP conference provides either financial aid, grants, or referrals. The goal is to provide emergency assistance, either for family or personal needs. All applications are also in Spanish. It is all done with compassion and confidentially.
Resources are limited. Where there are funds available, or free items to give out, the charity can provide emergency and hopefully life-sustaining assistance. There may be free clothing, food, money to pay rent/mortgage, deposits, or utilities. Another service will give either free vouchers to pay for school supplies and/or furniture. This type of support is for both individuals and families that meet criteria, and that are facing a financial crisis.

St. Vincent de Paul Mohave County emergency food pantry provides free groceries to families, including child and senior friendly items. It is strongly recommended that each applicant bring their own bag or box to pack their groceries in.
The site is a client choice center. This means that the client can walk about the pantry and select only what their family would use (within reason/limits). This tends to have a few main benefits. One is that it cuts back on waste as families pick only what they need. The second benefit is it empowers the family and may make some people feel more confident as they are not just given any bag of food. There may be the following:
- Low-sugar cereals.
- Canned goods, including meats, stew, tuna and soup.
- Peanut butter and jelly, including bread.
- Canned fruit packed in juice as well as low sat vegetables and fruit juices.
