Period Equity Alliance Society began with Missy Searl quietly delivering personal care items from her home.

Meet Lillian (Missy) Searl of Period Equity Alliance Society, a finalist for Business Leader of the Year at the 2026 Halifax Business Awards.

Period Equity Alliance Society is a non for profit society addressing the lack of access to menstrual products for everyone.

When asked what she would say is her biggest accomplishment to date as Business Leader, here's what Lillian (Missy) Searl, Executive Director and Founder, had to say:

Since founding my grassroots organization in 2009, Women In Need, Need Other Women (WINNOW) and then turning it into a non for profit, Period Equity Alliance, we have build partnerships across the province with schools, community organizations, shelters, and community cupboards to address menstrual inequity in Nova Scotia. We have not only distribute essential menstrual products to those facing barriers, but we have raised public awareness about period poverty, dignity and inclusion. We have become a trusted community ally with organizations like the HFX Wanderers FC – centering compassion and representation through collaboration.

Join us in supporting and cheering on the champions of our business community at the Awards on Thursday, January 22, 2026!

It truly takes a village.

Getting menstrual products into the hands of people who ask for them doesn’t happen by magic—it happens because of community. It happens because people show up, give their time, pack bags, deliver boxes, and say ‘yes’ when it would be easier to say ‘no’.

PEAS is powered by an incredible Board of Directors and dedicated community volunteers who believe that access to menstrual products is a matter of dignity, health, and equity. They are the driving force behind every person/organization supported.

We are deeply grateful for the care, commitment, and heart that makes this work possible. This is what community looks like. This is how change happens.
