Lancaster Central Market, 23 N. Market St., Lancaster, has launched the Kathleen L. Peck After Market program to reduce food waste, improve community health, and honor the memory of Peck. Designed to ensure nutritious food ends up on local tables, not in landfills, market standholders offer free goods that will expire before the next market day.

After Market is open to the public and operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 2:45 to 3:15 p.m. Shoppers are asked to browse the tables in a single-file line and take only three to five items at first. Shoppers may return to the end of the line as often as they wish. After Market shoppers should bring their own bags, as none will be provided.

Before the pandemic, the Central Market Trust partnered with local nonprofits to pick up food donations directly from the market house. Due to staff constraints and varying donation amounts, Trust staff members sought other ways to reduce waste and bridge the gap to ensure that food flowing into the Central Market makes it onto kitchen tables.

The family of Peck helped launch After Market in her memory after she passed away suddenly in 2022. Mike Peck, Kathy's husband, noted that his family has bought much of its food from Central Market.
