Tomatillo on February 3rd, 2010 donated all of their profits to UNICEF to help Haiti. They raised 5.3 million won throughout the day.

I think they did an excellent job and I would really like to applaud their initiative and the staff’s hard work. UNICEF also provided volunteers who worked all day to help the restaurant. Seoul Eats had a meet-up at the Yeoksam branch and over 30 people came out. Thank you all for coming out supporting such a great cause. Here are some of the people who came out.

Tomatillo will have donation jars throughout the month, so you can continue to support Haiti.
