Veterans Resource Fair Connects Community to Services and Benefits

For immediate release:  April 13, 2026 

 

Smithfield, N.C. - A resource fair for veterans is scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, in the lobby of the Paul A. Johnston Auditorium at Johnston Community College.

The free event, hosted by Johnston County Veterans Services, will offer veterans, active-duty service members and their families access to health care services, education resources, job opportunities and other community-based resources.

“Our goal is to create a ‘one-stop shop’ for those who served,” said Robert Boyette, head of the Johnston County Veterans Service Office, the event’s organizer. “Beyond just handing out brochures, many of these vendors will be offering real-time consultations and benefits.” Boyette said his office was proud to support the County’s veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

“Come out and connect with valuable resources all in one place," he said. "Spread the word and bring a friend. We look forward to seeing you there.”

JCC is located at 245 College Road in Smithfield. For more information, call Johnston County Veterans Services at 919-989-5067.
