On Aug. 22 UAW Local 551 will host the "Into the Lights" charity mixer to benefit a youth homeless shelter. "The Crib" primarily serves LGBT youth aged 18-24 and is operated by The Night Ministry. The Crib is open 7 days a week from 9pm-9am and is able to house up to twenty youth a night and also provides dinner, breakfast, laundry services, homework help, and other activities. Opened in January 2011 as a 4 month pilot program the Crib became the model that youth homeless shelters in the City of Chicago were and are based on. In addition to this shelter, The Night Ministry provides housing, medical services, and development opportunities across the city.
