But first, the group is looking for people who need their help.

During youth mission trips, they group performs new construction such as wheelchair ramps, handrails, hanging doors, shelving, steps, wooden porches, dry wall and screen doors.

Anyone who would like the U.M. Army to work at their home is asked to call Howard Brasor at 281-499-5013 or em-mail at Lbfab@hotmail.com.

Repair projects include replacement or installation of floor boards, window glass, rotten exterior  wood, porches, saggy floors and screens.

The group will also perform yard work, painting, yard clean-up and house cleaning.

They won’t, however, do plumbing and electrical projects, new home construction, work on rental property, major roof repairs, appliance repair and third story painting.

All work is done free of charge with funding from the volunteers and donations.
