Our Lady Queen of Peace Sanctuary, a religious center in Joshua Tree, is giving away wood and fencing to local residents.

The center was severely damaged in October flash floods and mudslides, said Mataji Premananda, who oversees the Our Lady Queen of Peace Sanctuary. Premandanda, who is known in her faith community as Minister Mataji, requests that residents call her at (323) 779-0210 or email her at ewoec@earthlink.net to schedule an appointment for pickup.

She said about 90 percent of the center was damaged during the flooding. The 10-acre property is in the process of being re-landscaped. The fencing became unusable for the center after the storm.
