Because, in many religions, this is what God, or the prophets or whatever, told them to do. In The Bible, I am a Christian so I believe this strongly, Jesus always tells his followers to help those who are less fortunate, to help the poor. This is why it is very important to many religious people to support the sick and those less fortunate than ourselves.
