Explanation:

1. food stamps or SNAP: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) helps low - income individuals/families buy food, which can assist Mrs. Fernar in getting healthy meals.
2. food banks: Food banks provide free food to those in need, including healthy food options, so they can help with healthy meals.
3. community parks: Parks offer spaces for physical activities like walking, jogging, or light exercise, which can help Mrs. Fernar become more physically active.
4. community gardens: Community gardens can provide access to fresh, healthy produce (for meals) and also offer opportunities for light physical activity (gardening), so they assist with both healthy meals and physical activity.

• WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children): WIC is mainly for pregnant/breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5. Since Mrs. Fernar is an older woman, WIC is not applicable.
• NSLP (National School Lunch Program): This program is for school - aged children, so it does not apply to an older woman like Mrs. Fernar.
