Lewiston-Auburn Community Market
A Multicultural Hub for Food, Community, and Opportunity — Coming Soon to Downtown Lewiston-Auburn
The Lewiston-Auburn Community Market (LACM) is more than just a market — it’s a movement. Rooted in the heart of downtown, LACM brings together people of all backgrounds to grow a more connected, vibrant, and resilient community.

Help Us Build the Lewiston-Auburn Community Market
We are turning our vision into reality — and we need your help to take the next big step.
LACM has purchased the former police station building in downtown Lewiston and has plans underway to safely and responsibly demolish it and transform the location into a vibrant, community-owned marketplace and cultural hub designed for everyone in our community.
