Customizing and adding woocommerce template data

I am having some trouble customizing the woocommerce templates in my wordpress theme. I would like to add additional data as variables in my templates.

I want to show active orders on the dashboard or my-account page. I want to do this by passing in order data variables to the template to be able to call, like how it is done in the orders.php template.

I know I can override the wc-template-functions.php in my theme and then add the data in the wc_get_templates function for the dashboard or my account. However, I don’t want to do this.

What I’ve tried is creating a hook such as:

functions.php

function wc_fr_add_orders_to_account( $dashboard_orders, $current_page ) {
  global $account_orders;
  $current_page = empty( $current_page ) ? 1 : absint( $current_page );

  $customer_orders = wc_get_orders( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_query', 
    array( 
      'customer' => get_current_user_id(), 
      'page' => $current_page, 
      'paginate' => true,
      'status' => array( 'wc-pending' )
      ) ) );

  $fr_account_orders = array(
    'current_page' => absint( $current_page ),
    'customer_orders' => $customer_orders,
    'has_orders' => 0 < $customer_orders->total
  );

  return $fr_account_orders;
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_account_dashboard', 'wc_fr_add_orders_to_account' );

/theme-directory/woocommerce/templates/myaccount/dashboard.php (also tried in my-account.php)

do_action( 'woocommerce_account_dashboard', $fr_account_orders);
var_dump($fr_account_orders);

$fr_account_orders comes back null. However if I var_dump the array in the hook function, it comes back with data. Any help is appreciated.
