Welcome to the Caldwell House family, Ben!

My name is Ben Schmidlin, and I am thrilled to join the team at the Caldwell House.
As someone who was raised in Caldwell County, I am passionate about our county having resources for recovery.

Over the years, I have worked in numerous positions supporting both adolescents and adults in recovery. I most recently served as the Assistant Manager at New Beginnings of Hickory where I worked with leadership to ensure the daily operations of the program.

Tonight at the Caldwell House we fired up the grill and enjoyed some amazing ribeye steaks, all thanks to the generous donation from JBS. Meals like this mean more than just good food, they mean fellowship, encouragement, and a reminder to the men here that they are supported by a community that truly cares.

We are incredibly grateful for partnerships like this and for every person, business, and organization that pours into the Caldwell House. Without the help of our community and those who faithfully give and support, we wouldn’t be able to continue the life-changing work that happens here each and every day.

Thank you to JBS and to everyone who stands beside us. Because of you, we’re able to keep showing up, serving others, and building hope, one meal, one conversation, and one life at a time. 🥩🔥🥩🔥🥩🔥

Today at Caldwell House, we put up Kevin’s photo along with his “In Loving Memory” plaque, a small but meaningful way to honor a man who left a big impact on all of us.

This is the Kevin we’ll always remember… smiling, laughing, cutting up, and bringing joy into every room he walked into. He had a way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and hopeful, even on their hardest days.

Kevin wasn’t just part of Caldwell House, he was part of the heart of it. The time, love, and effort he poured into helping others find hope and a new way of life will never be forgotten. His legacy lives on in every life he touched and every man who continues the journey because of the seeds he planted.

We’ll carry his memory with us daily, in the laughter, in the fellowship, and in the work we continue to do.

Forever in our hearts. 💜

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our Assistant Director, Kevin Norris, who went home yesterday.

Kevin was a truly remarkable man who spent the last 20 years pouring hope, compassion, and support into the lives of men struggling with substance use. His heart for recovery and his unwavering commitment to helping others changed countless lives. There are likely thousands of people who have been impacted by Kevin, men he mentored, encouraged, and helped guide onto a better path.

To many of the men who came through our doors, Kevin was more than a mentor. He was a steady voice in difficult moments, a source of wisdom, and someone who genuinely believed in people when they struggled to believe in themselves.

His passing is a tremendous loss to the recovery community and to all of us here at Caldwell House. Kevin leaves behind a legacy of compassion, service, and lives forever changed because he chose to care.

We ask that you please keep Kevin’s family, the men in the house, and everyone who knew and loved him in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Kevin. Your impact will live on in every life you helped change.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our annual Caldwell House Christmas Party. We had an awesome night and some amazing food catered by Cork and Barrel. Thank you to our amazing board who supplied desserts for the party and to our one amazing board member that insisted on cleaning up and wouldn't let us help. Thank you to Tabernacle Baptist Church & Christian School for the generous donations to give each guy at our house a Christmas present. We're so grateful for the support of our community because without you it wouldn't be possible to provide a stable and safe environment for men to recover. Together WE can make a difference!!
