About Us


The Open Road Project exists to spread kindness and meet the needs of strangers. We travel in a 1979 GMC Vanguard named Lily. These are our stories.

An Update on Kindness

While we are enjoying our time immensely on the road, our purpose remains: to do random acts of kindness. Sometimes it seems like a lot of the things that we do for people don't have crazy stories, but we wanted to let you guys know about some of the stuff that we have done. Simple things such as buying Tim Hortons, paying for peoples movies, or just randomly giving away stuffed animals or small amounts of cash have proven to be great ways to show kindness to others. These small acts have sparked many interesting and meaningful conversations. It has been fantastic to get to know people from all walks of life. We have also done a few small work projects for people and hope to get more work of that nature.

Since we have been on the road, our minds have become geared towards finding ways to do things for others and this mindset is now something that we hope will never go away. We look forward to our next few days just outside of Edmonton at Brightwood Ranch, helping out in whatever ways they have planned for us. Then we are going to spend some time in the mountains thinking and praying about the things we can do once we get to southern B.C. and all the beautiful cities down there.

Cheers,The Boys
