For 36 years, Fort Worth CPAs have embodied the true spirit of Christmas, bringing joy and hope to local families. In 2025, Santaccountants will spread holiday cheer to children in the daycare program at the Center for Transforming Lives, YMCA, and students in Morningside, Como, and S. Dallas at HOPE Farm and La Reunión in Granbury.
These children face real challenges—some are homeless, others live below the poverty line, and many navigate difficult socio-economic circumstances. Through Santaccountants, every child receives a new outfit and a toy, helping them experience the magic of the season.

Center for Transforming Lives
For 110 years, the organization now known as the Center for Transforming Lives (CTL) has provided anti-poverty programs for women and children in Tarrant County. It was founded in 1907 as the first YWCA™ in Texas serving as a boarding house for poor women, expanded to include child care for working mothers in the 1930s, and in 2015 changed its name from the YWCA Fort Worth & Tarrant County to the Center for Transforming Lives to more clearly articulate its mission.
Today, the Center for Transforming Lives helps homeless and impoverished women, children, and families move from poverty to independence through:
- Homeless services – an emergency shelter for women and housing assistance for families.
- Early Childhood Development – providing free or subsidized early childhood education to impoverished and homeless families.
- Financial Empowerment Services – individual financial coaching and other programs to promote financial self-sufficiency.
La Reunión
La Reunión continues the legacy of Ruth’s Place Outreach Center by providing essential support to the uninsured and underserved families of Hood County, Texas. Offering food assistance through a community pantry, after-school programs for children, ESL classes and other educational support, and community activities that foster connection and growth. By focusing on these services, La Reunión ensures that our neighbors receive the care, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive. Many of the children come from households facing economic challenges, and the center serves as a vital resource for ensuring their health, education, and well-being.
These programs not only meet their immediate needs but also aim to foster stability and growth, helping kids thrive despite socioeconomic hardship.
HOPE Farm
HOPE Farm’s programs focus on the pressing issues youth face today. The goal is two-fold: to offer positive alternatives to delinquent and gang-related activity and to plant seeds for enriched and empowered lives. HOPE Farm is accomplishing this by providing positive role models in a structured holistic program. Since 1989, HOPE Farm has served over 250 at-risk boys and moms in Fort Worth, breaking the cycle of fatherless families.
YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth
The preschool participants at the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth come from diverse backgrounds, benefiting from a nurturing environment that supports their growth through structured programs. The YMCA offers early childhood education that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic development to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. Programs are designed to encourage creativity, learning through play, and healthy routines, ensuring that each child feels supported.
The YMCA also provides financial assistance to families in need, ensuring that children from varying socio-economic circumstances, including those facing challenges like homelessness or financial hardship, have access to high-quality education and care. This commitment helps foster inclusion and community support for all participating children.
