NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — As parents like myself know, diapers are a necessity and unfortunately, they can be incredibly expensive since babies and toddlers need so many.
That's where Nashville Diaper Connection comes in. They're Middle Tennessee's only diaper bank. They operate a lot like a food bank. They provide diapers to an average of 5,500 babies in need each month, which is wonderful.
However, they tell me that still only meets just over 8 percent of diaper needs for babies living in poverty.
There's a way you can help!
I reached out to Nick Jodway, the program manager for Nashville Diaper Connection, who also happens to be a bourbon aficionado like yours truly. But, you may wonder, diapers and bourbon? What could they possibly have in common? That's where our friends at Nashville Barrel Company come in!
Nick and NBC have selected a bottle for NDC, and $50 from each bottle goes right to Nashville Diaper Connection, assisting local families in need!
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
