If not, what exactly is their motivation for the help (the food and medications).

Most organizations are out there to get their piece of the pie, whether that pie be power, money, whatever... but some are willing to cross a serious line to get it, like using people who don't really want to be used, hurting people, and hurting society or the planet. Those organizations that put their own interest before the interests of other people, places, things to the point of harm are selfish.
Sure, the food and the medicine help, but red cross and other aid organizations don't force religion on people. I'll bet that most if not all these aboriginal people had their own religious beliefs, and when others show up with food and medicine, offering them with another religion....well you can see that's wrong.
The motivation is power. They convert people and they are better Christians, more powerful in the church, and the church itself grows.
