Help Me Hank's Shutdown Survival Guide: Resources for federal workers

Help Me Hank is hosting an all-day event on Wednesday to help government workers impacted by the ongoing government shutdown.

All day Wednesday, Local 4 and ClickOnDetroit will offer insight and resources for workers who are trying to stay afloat without getting a paycheck. More than 5,000 workers are impacted by the shutdown in Michigan.

Some of the topics we'll be covering include:

• Freebies being offered by companies, retailers and stores to help
• How to preserve your credit
• What to do about mortgage or rent payments
• Nonprofits that are helping out
• How to handle medical bills

We want to hear from you. Email Help Me Hank at HelpMeHank@ClickOnDetroit.com with your questions and we'll do our best to answer them. 

Watch Local 4 News starting at Noon on Wednesday for the latest information.
