The Springs of Life Foundation was started in February 2014 after our founder, Cliff Branam, met Chrystal, a toddler under the care of her homeless and addicted grandparents. This experience became the catalyst for the mission to rescue men, restore families, and rebuild communities, addressing absent fathers, addiction, and poverty.

Our services extend throughout Campbell County and surrounding communities in East Tennessee. You can discover more about the impact of absent fathers by selecting Why Men in the menu section.

Addiction and poverty are widespread in our rural areas, with limited resources for those unable to access treatment. Springs of Life offers free residential services for men ages 18 and up, with a special focus on fathers struggling with drug or alcohol addiction.

Additionally, the Springs of Life Recovery Center focuses on recovery capital—providing holistic services to help men rebuild their lives.
