Dominic Strada, president of the Marshwood High baseball boosters, knows small businesses in Eliot and South Berwick are struggling. He also knows the school's athletic programs in some cases count on support from those businesses to stay afloat. "With many varsity sports at the high school level along with Little League and other youth sports in the community, smaller businesses don't have the budgets to donate to everyone," said Strada, who lives in South Berwick.
