Encircle Heber calls for donations for Back to School Event

Encircle’s new house in Heber City is located in the heart of downtown, at 81 E. Center Street. It was originally built in 1892 by Abram Hatch. As a member of the Utah territorial legislature, Hatch introduced the legislation granting women the right to vote in Utah. Sgro expressed pride in the fact Encircle now occupies the home he built. “We love Abram,” Encircle Executive Director Jordan Sgro told KPCW. “We think Abram was ahead of his time.” According to Zions Bank CEO Scott Anderson, Hatch built the home with red sandstone quarried nearby. He then built the Wasatch Stake Tabernacle — now used to house Heber City’s administrative offices — with the stones that were left over.

Encircle Heber is asking for clothing donations for its open closet back to school event.

The nonprofit is accepting freshly-washed clothing for young adults through Aug. 23 at its location on 81 E. Center St.

All school-age children are invited to shop for clothes, school supplies and to get a free haircut.

The organization will not accept socks, underwear or clothing in poor condition.
