WESTBOROUGH – On March 23, Boston Bruins goalie and 2026 Olympic gold medalist Jeremy Swayman visited Amazon’s same-day delivery station in Westborough. He worked alongside employees, led their daily startup, signed the exterior of customer packages that went out for same-day delivery to real customers, and toured the facility. Swayman, who displayed his gold medal during the event, and Marty Walsh, NHLPA Executive Director, addressed Post-22 participants and Amazon employees during a Q&A session.
Amazon presented a $25,000 grant to Post-22.
Post-22 is a Westborough nonprofit founded by Christine Simpson — a mom who refused to accept that her son and others like him would be forgotten after aging out of the special education system at 22.
The numbers are stark: According to Post-22, 81.5 percent of adults with autism and intellectual disabilities are unemployed. At age 22, they lose access to special education services and federal entitlements — falling off what advocates call “The Disability Cliff.”

Simpson built Post-22 to change that. For nearly two years, Post-22 participants have been interning at the Amazon Robotics facility in Westborough — just down the street from the same-day delivery station — working alongside employees every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Amazon Robotics has been Post-22’s flagship partner, and since that partnership began, 14 new community partnerships have followed.
Post-22 also runs Ben’s Beans, a Friday coffee shop in Westborough where participants build real-world skills and serve their community with pride. More than 20 Post-22 participants and staff were in the room when Amazon presented the $25,000 grant to Post-22. Post-22 will put the funding toward its adult employment and training programs.
