 Kelsey Lenhart

US Army

I’m Kelsey, and I’m so very honored to be the LC for the cap city, Columbus! I first heard about IW after losing a good friend I was stationed with. I finally went to my first hike after going through my divorce. I originally got involved with IW because I supported the mission and wanted to be a part of it… little did I know, IW would improve my mental health (that I didn’t even know needed improving) and give me a place to call home. I’ve gone through some of the hardest trials of my life this past year, and I’ve had the absolute BEST support system standing by my side through it all. When I’m not with IW, you can find me at our local AMVETS post, where I am the post commander.
