Faith Community Church of Hopkinton, in coordination with Project Just Because, provided presents for 500 children this Christmas. On Monday, representatives from the church loaded up the presents and took them to PJB’s facility on South Street, where they will be distributed to 200 families in need.

The project was completed in about one month, with members of the church signing up to sponsor a family by purchasing presents.
