Monks vow to be poor and own no money or other things to detach themselves from care for things of this world. The idea is that if you don't have to worry about having or getting money, you can spend more time in prayer and contemplation.
Usually, they give their money to the abbot, who then takes care of paying for things like food, clothes, and utilities out of the monastery's coffers. Monasteries often also sell things they make or ask for donations.
