Encircle St. George Grand Opening

A Gift to Last a Lifetime

Encircle St. George opened in 2020. Philanthropist and Encircle champion, Brad Clark donated this home to Encircle. Following the donation, hundreds of community members donated time, products, and professional labor to make this home a reality. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Oct. 17 at the home where community members and stake holders were invited to attend.

The Dedication

The home was dedicated to Kim and Terry Turner, "fierce advocates for the LGBTQIA community, immigrants, women, and other minority groups,” their son Jared Turner said.

“Their examples of kindness, service, joy for life, and unconditional love leaves an indelible mark on everyone they meet. The mission of Encircle aligns with the ethos of Kim and Terry as they too provide a safe refuge for those who need it most.”

The Staff

Encircle hired St. George native Julie Benson to run the location.

“I am just amazed, totally, totally just so grateful that the community here has been nothing but embracing,” Benson said

The Home

The stucture, built-in 1869, was the Horatio Pickett House. The gorgeous remodel of the home was overseen by local interior designer April Hickman. Our generous Encircle donors and St. George community members supported the project throughout the process.
