Cajun Army to help gut homes after Imelda for another two months, those in need asked to reach out

So far, the group has about 20 homes on its list.

BEAUMONT, Texas — Members of the Cajun Army have been in Hamshire since Friday. 

Coordinator Richard Gibbs told 12News he's been assessing the homes they're about to start gutting. 

Members of the Cajun Army will be in the Hamshire area for another two months. 

So far they have about 20 homes on the list to gut. 

Gibbs told 12News he's wanting more people to reach out for help. 

He says he knows the homeowners are out there and wants to do what he can while he and his team are here.

"We have reached out to people who we gutted last time and some of the same people need help. Some of them have already gutted their house and they remembered us 'oh I'm so glad you called'. And yeah we have reached out to a lot of people," Gibbs said. 

The organization isn't just limiting itself to the Hamshire area. 

If you need help with your home, reach out to Cajun Army by going to the organization's website and scrolling down to click on 'Request Help.'
