Struggling to afford food? We are here to help.
We created The Market at ACC because we know that when students are worried about where their next meal is coming from, they can’t focus on their studies.
Opening Fall 2026: The Market at ACC
ACC has been awarded a MiLEAP Hunger Free Campus grant, which will allow us to expand our campus food pantries to better serve ACC students at both the Alpena and Oscoda campuses. When complete, there will be four convenient locations offering a wider variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, and shelf-stable items. All locations will be open when students return to campus in August.
As part of this transition, our pantries will become The Market at ACC—a space designed to feel more like a grocery store experience. Stop back later this summer for updates on our progress!
All items will be free and available to any ACC student, including early college and dual-enrolled students. Student IDs will be required to access the pantries.
