About Us

Alok is a word of Indian origin that means brightness, light, or enlightenment. ​

BeAlok was born from a desire to connect those going through a significant life event with those who wanted to help, but didn't know how. When someone we care about has a new baby, moves into a new home, or faces a challenge like an illness or loss, our first instinct is to ask, 'What can I do?' or 'How can I help?' While well-intentioned, this question can place a burden on the person we're trying to support.​

BeAlok transforms your desire to help into meaningful action. We believe the best gift is one that provides practical comfort and meets a real need. Studies consistently show that during life's significant moments, the most impactful support people receive is practical help. Our platform is your guide to thoughtful gifting, helping you discover and support local experts who provide:​​

​

Comforting Food & Treats: Nourishing meals that give them a break from cooking, to sweet treats that lift their spirits.

​

Practical Home Help: Professional cleaning service for a sense of calm, or a laundry service to take one thing off their plate.

​

Restorative Self-Care: Moments of tranquility with services like massage, yoga, or other wellness experiences and products.

How and where you spend your money matters. With BeAlok, you are not only showing up for a loved one but also supporting a local business at the same time.
