With everything from the crown mouldings to the heating system to five tall pine trees removed and donated, a former LDS Church meetinghouse is being demolished this week to make way for a Hope Lodge.
Cancer patients who travel to Salt Lake City for care will be welcomed at the 41-suite lodge free of charge. The American Cancer Society has raised $14.8 million of its $18 million capital goal, and it will also be seeking donations for operating costs.
