CNY Natural Wellness Expo Raises $2,000 for Victory Transformation

Posted on April 10, 2026

NY SBDC Fast Track to Small Business Workshop

The second Annual CNY Natural Wellness Expo, created by Lindsay Gaffney and James Gaffney of The Organic Earthling, brought together local businesses, wellness providers and community partners for its second year.

Victory Transformation operates a substance-free drop-in center offering support services, as well as emergency housing initiatives aimed at helping individuals transition into stable living. The organization houses 18 men that are working toward permanent housing solutions while navigating sobriety, with plans of expanding and adding beds specifically for young men aged 18-24.

Sponsors included Aqua Spa Float Center & Wellness Boutique and Light House Family Chiropractic, with additional support from vendors and community partners such as the Scriba Volunteer Fire Department.

This is what real community impact looks like-businesses and organizations coming together not just to connect, but to solve challenges and change lives. That’s the power of collaboration in Oswego County.

Organizers said they plan to continue the event in 2027, with a tentative date of March 6, 2027. Learn more here and stay up to date: www.CNYNaturalWellness.com
