Supporting children, adults, and families since 1888

At enCircle, we believe that everyone deserves to live an abundant life, full of meaning and purpose. We started when a Lutheran pastor opened a small orphanage in Salem, and we have evolved to become an organization of more than 600 dedicated and compassionate staff and caregivers.
