    Our work is more important than ever.

    Our mission to make the world a more loving place is as relevant as ever, during this time of upheaval. EnCircle has grown since 1888 to serve the needs of our neighbors, regardless of their political or religious affiliation.

    As a proud mission partner of the Virginia Synod of the ELCA, we are grateful for the affirmation from ELCA Bishop Eaton about the vital work of Lutheran-affiliated organizations throughout the country earlier this month. Your support for enCircle allows us to continue serving children, adults, and families during this tumultuous time of rapidly changing policies.
