NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF — TennCare has now begun providing diapers for children under two who are enrolled in TennCare or CoverKids.
This new program provides 100 diapers a month to those eligible and to receive the diapers you just have to head to a participating pharmacy. There are pharmacies across the state that will be able to provide access, and we've listed the ones in our region below.
Note: As of August 7, there are none listed for Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, DeKalb, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Moore, Morgan, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Van Buren or Wayne county.
We will update if that changes. You can find the full list here, or read them below.

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
