Serving Those Who Serve

Elks pledge "So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them." The Elks National Veterans Service Commission takes that pledge one step further, and promises service to our nation's Veterans and military members, with a special focus on service to those in need.

 The Goldsboro Elks are proud supporters of our nation's military to include our neighbors and friends at Seymour Johson Air Force Base.

Seymour Home Away From Home 

SHAFH is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation designed to assist Airmen at Seymour Johnson AFB. It pairs Airmen with civilian Host Families to help alleviate the challenges of being alone or far from home, often for the first time. These community families provide Airmen with a welcoming place to relax and offer opportunities to have fun away from the stress and day-to-day requirements of life on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Host Families offer personal interactions that can develop into strong, long-lasting bonds. To find out more or to apply to be a host family, click here.
