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.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
