A team spearheaded by Hanify & King, P.C. spent two Sundays this May transforming the bleak space outside the Family House Shelter in Dorchester into woodland gardens. Hanify & King partnered in this volunteer effort with Arlington landscape architect Jonathan Keep, Executive Director of Kartwheels In Motion, Inc., Jeannie Watson and major donor Weston Nurseries of Hopkinton.

It can mean the loss of the customer or vendor, to say nothing of the need to write down or write off an account receivable.
